Here is a glimpse of who I am, what I do, and why we should be friends. I am a NW Arkansas native raised by two non-creative types who allowed me to pursue an inherently impractical career in design. I graduated from the University of Arkansas with a Bachelor’s degree in interior design and then married another creative type, and needless to say we will be steering our children in the business/finance direction…but we will inevitably support them in whatever aspirations they may have. Ergo, I decided to take an industry leap, though not too far a departure, from design to real estate. After a brief stint in real estate sales, I was promoted (or demoted…I haven’t quite decided which) to the Lead Generation Manager. Away from the 9-5 grind, I enjoy the outdoors, drinking craft beer (responsibly) and spending time with my husband and two ornery boys.
