My husband, Dan, and I live in Minneapolis with our two dogs, Hazel and Gail, and our cat, Nala. I am originally from La Crosse, WI but have lived in Minneapolis for the past 10 years. Most of my work experience has been in retail management, but my favorite position was an operations supervisor at the Animal Humane Society. Outside of work I enjoy spending time outside with friends and family. In the past few years I have also started running and have ran a couple marathons; I'm hoping to run another whenever large events are able to happen again. More Details >>
