I am a mom, a business owner and an involved community resident of Blaine.
Regarding work experience, I've been a business owner and entrepreneur for 20+ years. Creating two business from the ground up has been my life's work thus far. I understand what it means to carry the responsibility for other's livelihood and income for over 300 Minnesotans. My career history includes leadership, risk and strong faith.
As a family, we are Lakes residents for 16 years and we have five school-age children. Two of our children joined our family through Anoka County foster care. Their lives shape my passion and values as we believe all children deserve safe and loving homes. I attend school board meeting and am very active in our school district.
Alongside other dedicated parents, in 2022 we launched the Centennial High School Breakfast Club where we feed free breakfast to high school students and offer a biblical message before school on Thursdays. Introducing faith in Jesus Christ one child at a time is our mission. This is the second year of our mission. We feed the bellies and minds to over 150 students each week. I am very proud of the work that we continue to do.
With all children's futures in mind, I engage with local elected officials and volunteer my time for numerous political campaigns on a local level. From the last Governor's race to the Senate, House of Representatives and numerous school board races, its been a privilege to work for and learn from some of the best advocates for change that I know. We will never stop advocating for our children.
I am recommended by the Conservative BPOU, Senate District 32.
Speaking for my own family, we love Blaine and hope to live here indefinitely. It's important that our kids feel safe in the community when they are out on their bikes or drive on the roads headed to school. THAT pushes me forward to be involved and to be a voice for the community in which we live. Lets ensure that Blaine remains a great place to raise a family.
