Info |
My road to Spencer has been an amazing—and sometimes challenging—journey. I grew up in Minnesota, and moved to Iowa in the 90s as a vice president of state government affairs with AT&T. In 2001, after nearly 20 years with AT&T, I retired to launch Capitol Gains, an advocacy firm focused on business, economic development, arts & culture, and child welfare. During that time, I also devoted a great deal of energy to Iowa Women in Public Policy, an organization I founded to help encourage women to actively engage in public office. From Capitol Gains, I moved to the Technology Association of Iowa.
I am the very proud mother of two grown daughters, both remarkable, intelligent, hard-working women. I raised my daughters and put them through college mostly on my own; I am blessed in ways too numerous to count, but I also know what it is like to truly struggle.
In 2011, I married my husband, David, and became the lucky stepmom to his four great kids. I moved to Spencer—David’s home town. It’s no stretch to say that I am nearly as in love with this beautiful part of Iowa as I am with my husband. In addition to being a business owner here, I am also on the city council, and serve on the board of Spencer Municipal Hospital.
Today, I am also the doting grandmother and step-grandmother of seven wonderful children.
