Originally from Aberdeen, SD, I moved to Billings as a junior in high school, but I love this community and surrounding area so much I consider this my forever-home. I'm a bit of an education junkie and have earned a B.S. in English Education and an M.S in Public Relations from MSU Billings, and an M.S. in Technical Communications from Montana Tech. After 13 years as a high school English teacher I made the jump to higher education administration where I served as the Director of Alumni Relations at MSUB and the Vice President for Advancement at Rocky Mountain College. While I have thrived in the directions my career has taken me, there was always a real estate dream in the back of my mind. As someone who always advises people to follow their passion, in 2013 I finally decided to heed my own advice and join Century 21 Hometown Brokers. My diverse background in education, leadership and community relations-as well as my own experience selling, buying and building houses-prepared me perfectly for my role as a REALTOR. Purchasing and selling your home is among the most important decisions you will make, both financially and emotionally. I understand that, and it is my absolute honor to help facilitate that process so that it is successful and fun! I believe strongly in giving back to the community I call home. I currently serve on the Billings Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, the Volunteers of America Advisory Council, and was appointed by Governor Steve Bullock to serve on his Commission on Community Service and to be a Montana Ambassador. I have also served on the Venture Theatre, MSU Billings Foundation and YWCA boards and am a 2010 graduate of Leadership Montana and a 2011 graduate of Leadership Billings. Most important though is my family. I am exceedingly proud of my sons, Bryce and Nik Pedersen, and have the most wonderful, supportive (and handsome!) husband, Shaun Seedhouse. My parents and my brother, sister, and their families all live right here in Billings as well-I couldn't possibly be luckier!
