Why I Love Sharing My Passions
I am a dog mom of three wonderful golden retrievers (Oakley, Aspen, & River) and wife to Nick.
I am 31 years old and currently reside in the suburbs of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I have grown up here all my life and met Nick in high school. We were high school sweethearts, dating for 10 years before getting married in 2016. We have now been together for 17 years! To say we know each other well is an understatement.
After graduating high school, I graduated from Alverno College with my bachelors in nursing and worked as a Labor & Delivery nurse for 7 years! I always had a passion for labor and delivery. The ever changing environment always kept me on my toes! Although I enjoyed it while I did it, leaving the healthcare field was one of my best decisions.
In 2016- Nick and I opened up our first business- City 13 escape rooms. I know everyone’s next question is: how the heck did you get into that?! Halloween and electronics have always been Nick’s jam, so the escape rooms have been the perfect combination of the two. While he did all the set design and build, I found my stride in the business aspect of it all!
In early 2020- we opened our second escape room location- 60 to Escape in Southridge Mall.
While I love supporting Nick’s passion of the escape rooms- I found my niche in the wedding industry! We opened up The Gage in fall of 2020 and have hosted the biggest day of couple’s lives for the past 3 years now!
Along the way, I have had many business experiences, home renovations, and lifestyle improvements. I love sharing all the things I have learned with others and the products that I love!
