Tell us a bit about you?

I recently graduated with my AAS in both Hospitality Management and Marketing and Certificates in Business, Meeting and Event Management, and Social Media Marketing. I live in a small town near St. Cloud, MN where my family and I have goats, chickens, a pig, a cat, and a dog. My free time is usually spent by enjoying nature, searching for a good thrift find, or working on a fixer-upper project.
