| Job / Employer Description: |
Donations to the Cyclone Club fund student-athlete scholarships, supplement the operating budgets of Iowa State's sports and are the backbone of support for funding the future of Iowa State Athletics. I assist in the management of the department's premium seating (Jack Trice Club, stadium suites, CourtCYd Club and MatCYd Club). I am extremely lucky to work with coaches who appreciate the fans and do whatever is asked, a rarity in this business. |

Des Moines Arts Festival event management team member - performing arts, chair of the Alumnae Advisory Committee for the Pi Beta Phi chapter at Iowa State University; Youth and Shelter Service GRIP Mentor to Ames 3rd grader and Miracle League volunteer. I am a YPC marketing committee member and producer of "YP Live". |
| Favorite Things to Do in Des Moines |
Taking in the Des Moines Arts Festival (I buy one piece every year), listening to great local talent during Jazz in July, taking in concerts at Simon Estes Amphitheater, eating and buying local, cheering on the Iowa Cubs and Iowa Barnstomers and taking in a few laps around Gray's Lake. |
| Something People Don't Know About Me: |
Although it is from nearly 10 years ago, I've kept the ESPN pay stub received while working at numerous basketball games while in college; proof I was on payroll. No joke, college students make great money holding the camera cables. (Dream job growing up was to be a TV sports reporter). |
| Anything Else You Want People to Know |
I've lived in Des Moines since 2002 and have moved eight times. |
