Brief personal/professional description After meeting my husband at Eastern Washington University we both went to Seattle, where I worked in public accounting at Clark Nuber. We moved back to eastern Washington to be closer to both of our families and I took a job with a Grain Warehouse as the CFO in Odessa Wash. My husband and I own a sausage company where we make snack sticks and sausages in Odessa called Voise Sausage by Schumacher. I moved from the grain industry to Eastern to give back to the wonderful college that gave me a great start.
