How you have benefited from being an Ambassador?
Moving to McKinney from Iowa and not knowing anyone, I knew I need to get involved with the Chamber to get to know as many people as I can. I was blown away by how welcoming each member and staff was so I decided I wanted to get even more involved. Becoming an Ambassador has allowed me to help new businesses make the connections needed for their business, along with allowing myself to meet with them if it makes sense for marketing purposes as well. This position will allow me to continue to grow within this community and show that I care and here to stay.

Tell us about your involvement in the Community?
After moving to McKinney in May. I joined the chamber within a few weeks, became an ambassador after 3 months, and then I also became a member of McKinney Young Professionals right away and volunteered to help with Race For Embrace.

What are your hobbies?
Skiing, Snowmobiling, Saving for Retirement, Golfing, and working out.
 

Tell us a bit about yourself and your family.
I was born and raised in Sioux City, Iowa. Growing up I was an only child but since then I now have 2 step brothers and 1 step sister. About half of my family is in some type of sales so I always had a passion for meeting with others and solving their problems. I played a semester of Baseball at Northwestern in Iowa and then transferred to the University of South Dakota where I graduated this past May 2020 with my Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing. I took many digital marketing classes at USD and that is where I found my passion and how I knew Sparklight Advertising was the right fit for me.
