What are your goals in your role at your company?

For the last 18 months I have been fundraising for the new Harkin Institute building at Drake University. I get goosebumps thinking about celebrating the dedication with generous donors, hardworking colleagues, and of course Ruth Harkin and Sen. Tom Harkin. I will be incredibly proud to see this project complete.

What’s your biggest passion, and why?

Building relationships – whether it is the donors with whom I work, in the community, or nurturing the relationships I have with my family and friends, I love connecting with people in a meaningful way. I hope to instill this in my children – who are truly my greatest passion.
