I left the plains of Iowa in search of the mountains of Colorado where I received my degree. Everything was different and I was forging forward on my own, learning and changing with each new experience. Moving from state to state, starting a career, starting a family and overcoming adversity has helped to build my blocks of personal and professional growth. This evolution of change has provided me with the skills to multitask, problem solve, organize family and career, love unconditionally and to live in the moments that go by too fast.
