 About...

I consider myself to be a physical Iowa farm girl even though we moved off the farm when I was 13 due to my dad's death.  I'm number 5 in a line-up of 7 girls.  I feel  fortunate to have always been action oriented as I initially tried to keep up with my older sisters, matured into chores, and then added sports. I wanted to be a physical education teacher, but a brotherly friend told me I didn't have enough muscles so when I met with the high school guidance counselor I said I wanted to be a geologist.  This dates me, but he said, "That's not a woman's field.  Here, apply for this Dietetic scholarship."  I got the scholarship and went on to get a BS in Dietetics & a BS in Community Nutrition from Iowa State University.  I later pursued my MBA from the University of St. Thomas where I researched the economic benefits of wellness programs.  My life's journey has taken many twists and turns, involved detours, and mountains.  Now, I want to share what I've learned from my past experiences, enjoy the present, and look forward to what lies ahead- like when I'm hiking on a new trail, I just want to keep going to see what's around the bend...Happy trails...
