Note: This was my very first blog post titled Who am I.  You’ll also see that I don’t mention my name because I was anonymous! 🙂

Hello, friend. Welcome to Classy Career Girl’s first post! So, who am I?

I have so many ideas running through my head and I am so excited to share them with you. But first, let me introduce myself. I grew up in Orono, Minnesota and escaped to the warm California sunshine to go to college at Point Loma Nazarene University in San Diego, CA. Many people ask me how I ended up at PLNU but I can only tell the truth, the ocean view dorm room and the weather. Some of my previous, less exciting jobs over high school and college include being a server at a drive-through coffee shop, a tennis instructor, a figure skating coach, a wedding and banquet server, a camp counselor and a summer school teacher.

During college, I researched many different industries and was an undeclared major up until I was a junior in college. I finally made a decision and decided to pursue International Business which was most likely because it meant that I would be required to study abroad in Madrid, Spain. During college, I also did internships with a financial firm, the Government, a Mortgage company and even started a investment management business with my dad. 

I met my husband, John, through a mutual friend and we were married in July 2006 in Minneapolis, MN. We currently live in San Diego and I have no desire to move back to the cold Minnesota winters. We are looking forward to increasing our family as soon as I can convince my husband to get a dog.
