Be the light for others in your life; you never know when someone will appreciate your impact or lighten your burdens!

We had a great time attending the 4th Annual Lemonball Scramble; benefitting Alex's Lemonade Stand and the NM Iowa Children's Hospital Nurses Fund. Our guest speakers detailed the direct results of the donations; improving the quality of life for patients and parents, and giving unique benefits to the nurses and staff who show up every day to make an impact. While my team's golf game wasn't up to par... the event and experience was a hole in one!!

I was blown away by the amazing combined efforts of our leadership and marketing team in Northeast Iowa. With a pledge of $500,000 towards the University of Iowa Children's Hospital; specifically benefitting pediatric oncology and the amazing nurses who change lives every single day!

It was such a great experience working with the Orange Elementary and Central Middle school students, teachers and staff!! Jennifer from Junior Achievement was great throughout the process and even awarded me the Iowa Rookie of the Year for 2023/24. I joked she wouldn't get rid of me until decades from now when I earn the lifetime achievement award!!
