Mom of three (two in college and one holding down the middle school fort), wrangler of two dogs and two cats, wife to a hard-working construction guy, and lover of all things fashion.

I own The Funky Zebras Clear Lake and co-own The Funky Zebras Ames, where my days are filled with clothes, coffee, and connecting with amazing women. I’m also a Seasonal Color Analysis Consultant with Color Guru — because life’s too short to wear the wrong colors.

When I’m not at the boutiques, you’ll find me teaching and mentoring incredible middle and high school students in the Talented and Gifted (TAG) program in Ames. Working with these creative, driven kids keeps me inspired (and on my toes!) every single day.

Life is busy, colorful, and a little bit crazy — just how I like it. My happy things? Fashion, chocolate, and a pumpkin cream chai when the season calls for it.
