She also served six years in the Army Reserves, including active duty overseas during Operation Desert Storm.
She received a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Briar Cliff University in Sioux City in 2006. She earned a master’s degree in management, with an emphasis in human resources management and health-care administration, from Briar Cliff in 2014.
