I have spent most of my life raising my 4 amazing daughters. While doing that, I have always worked out of my home owning my own clothing line and writing sales programs. Now that the girls are all out of the house, married or in college, I am Regional Sales Director for Kinseth Hospitality and oversee the sales efforts of 3 hotels in the Council Bluffs area. Prior to this, I was human resources consultant with retail clients such as Clinique, Ann Taylor, Nordstrom and Coach and hospitality clients such as Ritz Carlton, The Broadmoor (Colorado), and Lodgian (Atlanta) plus I opened the Marriott at the Denver airport. I have really enjoyed being back in Council Bluffs. I am a Council Bluffs Chamber Ambassador and am a Main Street committee member. I also was a member of the CB Chamber Leadership class 19! It is so wonderful to reconnect with so many people from our class and from this great community! I am so happy to give something back to my great hometown!
