About

I am very proud to be the first woman to graduate from Northwest Missouri State University with a degree in Finance. I started an investment company 30 years ago and have felt that my years at Northwest prepared me to move forward with my career. Through Fraternity & Sorority Life, as member of Alpha Sigma Alpha sorority, I made lifelong friends.

In my spare time I like to travel, hike, read and spend time with my family. My parents still live in Grant City, Missouri.

Why are you "forever green"?

"Being a member of the Northwest Foundation Board has been one of the best experiences of my life. It has given me the opportunity to work with a wonderful staff and talented board members, on the most beautiful campus in the country. We all share the same goal, to help other students as we were once helped ourselves."
