A native of West-Central Illinois, I came to Greenville to attend Greenville College (now University). By the time I graduated with a degree in Communication: Theatre I had fallen in love with both a local boy and the Bond County area. My husband and I are the proud parents of two daughters: Kaya (a Bond County CEO alumnus) and Jolie, and we recently took on the roles of "in-laws" to Jolie's other half, afantastic young man named Caleb. In addition to a side hustle/handmade jewelry business, BoCo Boho 2.0, I have been co-owner of Bond County Realtors LLC since 2015, which allows me to invest in and be involved in a number of local organizations. Of all of these organizations, CEO is one that is near and dear to my heart. I have had the pleasure of experiencing CEO in many different ways. I have been a mentor, speaker, parent of a student, investor, community member, substitute facilitator, and dancer (it’s for the children!). Now, I am honored to be a board member. I am amazed at the growth and change I have witnessed in our students, and I have seen growth and change in myself as well. I love CEO and I am so glad to be a part of it!
