As a 4th generation Ames girl, I watched Ames change and grow over the years. I've traveled the country enough to appreciate what a great place Ames is to live and raise a family. Ames has the best of small town living coupled with many advantages of living in a larger community. My past seat on the executive board and continued involvement in committees for the Young Professionals of Ames and membership in the Ames Jaycees have helped me to stay involved in the community, and continue to learn more about this great city we call home. Family My husband Larry and I have two children, Forest and Harmony. Becoming parents has underscored what a great place Ames is for family life.
