I'm a high energy person who has had a fantastic technical career! I am also a brain science geek and love to coach people using neuroscience.

I loved math and science!
Hawkeye Institute of Technology - AAS Electronics
Mount Mercy - Bachelors in Computer Science

I've been a people leader for many years and so I lead large teams to make technology transformations that add value for customers and the company.
The continuous learning. The excitement of making a difference in people's lives!
Being the first female engineering director at John Deere.
Doubt. People disrespecting my knowledge because they didn't know me and I was the first female they'd worked with. Breaking barriers isn't for the weak! :)
I have been married for over 30 years, have one daughter, one son and a granddaughter!! They live near me and we love to spend time together!!
I want to write a book within a year. In 10 years, I want to build a legacy of helping others and giving freely.
My children inspired me to make a big difference in my career!
Do it! It's interesting, it's challenging and the opportunities are almost endless!
I love to lift, cook, read and spend time at the lake boating and waterskiing!
