I am a Kansas City girl! Moved here in 2018 & love it! I’m very independent and love learning new things everyday! One of my passions is learning. Learning has opened MANY doors for me and also closed quite a few. Learning also pairs well with experiences. It’s one thing if you read it but it’s another when you actually go out and partake in a new activity that you learned about that can help you meet new people and develop a deeper understanding. I’m very strong in my faith, love listening to others stories because everyone has one.
Q: Please tell us a little bit about your family.
It went super fast! We are a family of 4 and my husband & I just got married!
Q: Please tell us about your current, past, or future career. What do you love most about what you do?
After years of seeing my mom a bartender and seeing my dad a General Manager, I wanted to run my own restaurant. I waited tables and after I had a baby a light bulb went off in my head and something told me its time to do something different. I was a stay at home mom going crazy trying to decide what I wanted to do with my life. I still couldn’t figure it out so I applied at NWACC. My husband works for a contractor and does his own on the side, I have seen how he developed relationships with all different people which is my favorite part! & his flexibility. So I decided to go to school for Business Management. I always watched kids as a young child and cleaned their homes all in one. Its very therapeutic for me and a BONUS for you! Clean Home, is a Happy Home.
