Oskaloosa, Iowa – Those stepping into the Hawkeye Real Estate office on the north side of the square will be greeted by Hawkeye’s new office secretary Annette Leraaen. Leraaen began her duties on August 26 which include supporting the real estate agents and marketing coordination responsibilities

Leraaen and her husband, David, moved to Oskaloosa from Sheboygan, WI a year ago to accept a pastorate at New Hope Free Methodist Church also in Oskaloosa.

She earned her associated degree in Desktop Publishing/Graphic Arts from Illinois Central College, and her bachelor’s degree with an emphasis in Business Administration/Corporate Communications from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay.
