Who I Am

My professional background includes experience in banking, annuities and life insurance. I joined Homesteaders as a customer service representative in 2015 and became an account executive for the Home Office region in 2018.

I live in Winterset, Iowa, with my husband Trent and my two boys. My son Jaxson has shown an interest in the funeral profession and even attended a day of the Iowa Funeral Director Convention with me. Our family loves to kayak; we can be found on the water almost every other weekend in the summer! My friends call me a plant lady as I have almost 40 varieties of plants throughout my house, not including the landscaping in our yard.

Why I Joined Homesteaders

Homesteaders is a very family-oriented company and allows me the flexibility I need to make my children a priority. The teams I have worked with at Homesteaders have always been supportive and listen to my opinions. Working hand-in-hand with funeral professionals – helping you grow your business and be successful – allows me to feel like I’m making a difference. My job is rewarding, and I can honestly say I love it!

What I Do

Having been with Homesteaders for almost a decade, I feel there is not a question I can’t answer. The funeral homes I work with would be the first to say I’m always available. I love the funeral professionals I work with. I have met many wonderful people who are amazing at their jobs. I’m committed to earning their trust through transparency, top-quality service and exceptional resources to help their business succeed. Because I have personally experienced the benefits of advance funeral planning, I have a strong desire to help funeral professionals share this important service with the families they serve.
