Tell us a little bit about your family and your Boss Mom journey.
My boys are 6 and 3 and love farm-life. I help where I can with the cattle but are often left-behind when they check the pastures and do chores. This is key time for productivity when I do professional development, business building, and of course meal prep. My Boss Mom journey has been and continues to be a place of growth and excitement. I look forward to the day that the boys will understand my investment, tenacity, and hustle. Living has never been better.

What are three core values of your business and how do those values relate to your motherhood?
I most value transparency, supporting others, and kindness in business. These might surprise you as my core values, but I operate more from a place of service than anything else. Raising our children to operate in the same way is my biggest challenge and desire.
