She “retired” from Wells Fargo Investments in April 2009 to become a stay-at-home mom. After becoming a stay-at-home mom, she was looking for a place to donate her suits. Des Moines was a targeted area to launch a Dress for Success affiliate. With the help of seven other women, the Des Moines affiliate was launched in June 2011.
