Her goal was to break into the medical field and be able to do something with her marketing and management backgrounds and something that would help her fulfill her desire to help people. When she saw an ad for Marketing Director at The Lexington, she knew it was the perfect fit.

Tell us a little about your family.
I have the most amazing parents and a wonderful man in my life! My parents, Jerome and Marcia, reside on a farm north of Spencer, NE and are the most hardworking and honest people you will meet. My significant other is Mike who makes me laugh on a daily basis. I have been lucky to spend the past 9 years with him.
What is your favorite thing to do on a day off?
Spending time with family and friends is my most favorite thing to do. Going for a ride on the motorcycle or a trip to the lake/river are the ideal activities on those days. I should probably admit that I do enjoy partaking in retail therapy, too!

I was valedictorian of my high school class.

My family – they are amazing people who allow me to live my dreams through their unconditional love and support.
What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
The first is from my Dad: The time it takes you to complain about something is the same amount of time that you could have spent fixing the issue. I read the next quote somewhere and try to remember it on a daily basis: If you keep doing the same thing, you’ll keep getting the same thing.
