June Recap
As we roll into July, we’re reflecting on a fun-filled June and looking ahead to an exciting month to come. Summer is in full swing, and so is the Wilson Toyota team! In June, we kicked things off by celebrating National Donut Day with some sweet treats that brought plenty of smiles to the dealership. We also spent our Friday nights out in the community at the Jaycee Summer Concert Series at the Bandshell. It was the perfect way to unwind each week, enjoying great music, fresh air, and the chance to connect with the Ames Community.

ABOUT
I was born and raised in Marshalltown, Iowa, I moved to Ames shortly after graduating high school. I attended Marshalltown Community College while working at Menards, where—fun fact—I also met my boyfriend, Josh. We have a one-year-old pup named Archie, our playful one-year-old pup. He’s a mix of Golden Retriever and Australian Shepherd, which means he’s full of energy! In my free time, I enjoy taking Archie on walks and spending time at the lake.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN WITH WILSON TOYOTA?
I have been at Wilson Toyota for about 1 year and eight months.
WHAT ARE YOU MOST PROUD OF IN YOUR CAREER SO FAR?
I’m proud to work for a company that genuinely takes care of people—not just its customers, but its employees too. I also take pride in being bilingual and using that skill to connect with more customers and give them a positive, personalized experience.
WHY WILSON TOYOTA?
It’s the people that make Wilson Toyota special. There’s a sense of teamwork and genuine care here that you don’t find everywhere. It truly is one of a kind.
WHAT IS SOMETHING YOU HAVE LEARNED SINCE STARTING HERE THAT HAS SURPRISED YOU?
What I have learned in being in the car business is that we aren’t in the car business industry we are the making relationships industry. The impact you make on customers matters.
WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CAR?
My first car was a 2016 Ford Escape.
WHAT IS YOUR HIDDEN TALENT?
I’ve recently gotten into couponing! After buying a house, I’ve been focused on saving where I can. There is nothing more satisfying then watching the total at checkout drop.
July Happenings
Looking ahead, we’re gearing up to participate in the Ames 4th of July Parade, and we can’t wait to see you there! Don’t forget that the dealership will be closed on July 4th so our team can enjoy the holiday with their families and take part in the parade.
We’re also excited to be part of the Ankeny Parade on July 12th, and don’t miss the Lucky Star Market in Nevada on July 27th, which we’re proud to be sponsoring.
Mark your calendars for a special event on August 9th! We’re thrilled to be partnering with the Animal Rescue League for a fundraiser right here at Wilson Toyota. There will be puppies and kitties to pet, a dunk tank, hot dogs fresh off the grill, Wilson swag, and more. All proceeds will go toward supporting the incredible work the ARL does in our community.
Thanks for being part of the Wilson Toyota family — we’ll see you around the dealership and out in the community this summer!
