The most rewarding part of my job is helping people better align their career with their family.
“How much better to get wisdom than gold, to get insight rather than silver.” – Proverbs
I graduated college, got married, started in the professional world, and had my first child in the span of 27 months.
As a Des Moines area transplant, West YP has allowed me to build a friend group in a fun and easy way. The professional development programs are always helpful and relevant and I haven’t left a social event without setting a coffee meeting with a talented person doing great work in the community.
My favorite thing about West Des Moines is its proximity to amenities and affordable cost of living. The ease with which you can build a good life and enjoy a reasonable lifestyle for a family is extremely attractive.
I frequent coffee shops on the west side meeting with folks and figuring out who has the best brewed black coffee.Â
Both sides of my family are nearly 100% Norwegian so a bucket list item is to cruise down the fjords of Norway.
