I began my career with Farm Bureau Insurance in October 2011. I have a long list of Missouri Farm Bureau Insurance involvement ranging from Farm Bureau Insurance FFA speaking contests in high school, to serving on the Vernon County Board of Directors and attending numerous Missouri Farm Bureau Young Farmers and Ranchers Conferences in my youth. I endorse a large list of community involvement ranging from Sac Osage Electric Cooperative Board of Directors, Bright Futures of El Dorado Springs, Stockton Lake Sertoma, MU Extension Council Leaders Honor Roll recipient, Cedar County Youth Fair Board, and I am University of Missouri Alumni. I am active in Stockton Christian Church Worship Team and Children’s Ministry. My husband Todd and I own and operate Iron Eagle Welding Academy and Investments at Stockton Lake and run a 60+ head Balancer Beef herd. I have a strong background in agriculture; particularly in livestock production, sales and leadership education. My “me time” is disbursed amidst judging local FFA contests, actively participating and supporting thousands of others in our personal wellness journey, serving as a guest speaker in local classrooms, spectating at community sporting events, supporting local fundraisers, presenting keynote addresses, playing co-ed sports, dining out at our local eateries and chasing our ‘not so little’ little’s all over our farm and experiencing with them the wonders of the world!
