Personal Highlights

I joined the service industry in 2011 when I moved back to Des Moines working at Cabaret West Glen. I mostly enjoyed being able to work at a place that gave me the opportunity to meet so many people and help create an atmosphere that people always wanted to be around. I enjoyed it so much that I worked there for the past 6 years. When I am not at work I am spending time with family and friends. I love to eat out and experience new restaurants around the town. In my spare time I enjoy traveling as much as possible and watching or attending as many sporting events as I can my favorite being baseball.
