Living in Marion County
The simplicity of it all - no commuting, little traffic, open spaces, welcoming people, a good balance of working and living. You can real- ly have it all.
Favorite Place to Relax
In the summertime my husband and I spend a lot of our time boating on the Des Moines River. I enjoy being outside amongst our beautiful scenery around the river and lake. With friends, we will usually grab a bite to eat then have a drink at Peace Tree Brewing Company or Atlantic and Pacific Pub.
Career Opportunities
I have found that if you really want an opportunity, there are many people in Marion County that will act as resources to help you achieve it. If the opportunity is not even there yet, the same people will help you create it.
Career Advice to Teens
It is okay to change your mind and go in a different direction. If you start one thing and it is not what you expected, try something new. If you have a dream to open a new business, talk to the right people, make a plan, then go do it. To make an impact, you have to be following your passion.
