Joined the Board of Directors in 2025
I have worked in public service for all of my career, mostly in education. I have a Bachelor’s in Sociology from the University of Minnesota -Twin Cities, an MBA from Saint Mary’s, and a K-12 Administrative License. I am an adult daughter’s proud parent and enjoy cycling, live music, and Minnesota summers.
