Becky has lived in Cherokee county since 1980. Becky worked as a Cosmetologist from 1987-2000, then worked with the Cherokee School District until 2006, when she began schooling to become a nurse. Becky received her LPN degree, as she was finishing her RN schooling and was employed part time as a nurse at the United Community Health Center in Storm Lake, Iowa. Upon receiving her RN degree was employed full time, and continued working there until her new venture began here at The Gardens March 22nd, 2010.
