For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a deep passion for helping others to help themselves and to lend a voice to those who may otherwise go unheard. I am licensed with the MN Board of Social Work as a Licensed Graduate of Social Work (LGSW) and have my Master’s degree in Social Work from the University of St Thomas. Professionally, I have been working in the Health and Human Services field for 20 years, 15 of which have been with a metro county and my experience includes CADI, BI, DD and EW case management, as well as working as a MnCHOICES assessor.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my son and our 2 standard poodles. I also enjoy a variety of hobbies including painting, knitting, cooking and traveling.
