I am a single mom of 3 wonderful kids (Emily 7, Bobby 5 & Jack 4). As a family, we enjoy being in the great Minnesota outdoors, be that out in the yard throwing a ball around, tending to our small garden, or camping for a weekend in one of our state forests or state parks. I work as a resource development director for a Boys & Girls Club and am also involved on the city council in my community. I love to get involved, help others and firmly believe in the power of individual voices.
