As the Talent Attraction Manager for the West Des Moines Chamber of Commerce, I help people at all stages of life find their next big opportunity, whether they’re new to the area, looking for a career change, or seeking new passions. When I first moved to Des Moines as a young professional, I faced the same uncertainties—where to go, what to do, and how to connect. Now, I’m committed to making West Des Moines/Des Moines a welcoming place for everyone, regardless of background or experience.

I’m passionate about our community and how we can strengthen our connections to better serve everyone. Whether you're an intern seeking your dream job, a family relocating, or a professional feeling stuck, let’s explore what West Des Moines can offer you.

In my free time, I enjoy walks, bike rides, and am always open to book or recipe recommendations. Though I hail from Kansas City and root for the Royals, Chiefs, and Jayhawks, my University of Iowa experience has me forever bleeding black and gold. As a musician and member of the LGBTQ+ community, inclusion work and arts advocacy are important to me. Let’s connect and chat about our shared interests!

Originally from South Dakota, I attended Northwestern College, where I met my husband. We now call Iowa home and are grateful for the vibrant community we've found here! We’re actively involved in our church and love to travel. I’m passionate about my role at the Chamber, where I get to support local businesses and contribute to our community’s growth.
