After high school, she attended Buena Vista University where she played volleyball and received her Bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Design and Communications. Following college, she worked various design jobs and management positions and began working for Pauley Jones Funeral Home in October of 2017, where she utilized her caring personality to build relationships with families during their time of need and she also “man’s” the office duties in our Avoca location.
