SBD – Meet Strategy & Business Development Analysts

I'm an Iowa girl -- raised in a town of approximately 2200 people in southwest Iowa. I've also lived in Joplin, Missouri, Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, Charlottesville, Virginia, and Bentonville, Arkansas

I speak English and rudimentary Spanish. My husband's family speaks mostly Spanish, so I'm trying to practice -- stop by and test my Espanol!

I have a BS in Food Science from Iowa State University and my MBA is from the Darden School at the University of Virginia.

I have been with Cargill nearly three years. Before business school I spent five years at Schreiber Foods (processed cheese company) in operations and quality assurance.

My field assignment was Minneapolis as an assistant marketing manager in the Food Systems business unit before joining SBD in September of 2005.

I enjoy reading, listening to music, and obsessing over what color to paint our spare bedroom.

I have heard that Madeleine Albright "leads by listening" which I think is very interesting -- it is most likely what made her a good diplomat. I think there's a lot to be learned by asking the right questions, listening, and observing.
