This week I would like you to meet Goldleaf Account Specialist, Amy Nordaune. Amy grew up on a farm near New Ulm, Minnesota. She is married with two children, a son and a daughter. She enjoys spending time with her family and friends, golfing, watching sporting events, running, reading, and traveling. Amy is the daredevil here at Goldleaf – zip lining over a 700 foot gorge in Mexico on one of her trips! Amy is the chairperson for the Education Committee at her church as well as a Sunday School teacher. She also loves helping out in her children’s classroom.
