It’s hard to believe that for the better part of two decades, my husband Rory and I have been building our life here in Eden Prairie. We welcomed our fourth child in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic and we're thrilled to be a family of six. We love this community, especially our great schools and green spaces. We spend a lot of time playing with our children at Riley Lake Park and biking on local trails. I‘m passionate about getting to know our neighbors and finding common ground and shared values. As your state representative, I'm focused on the future of our community and the great state of Minnesota.

I grew up in a union household in Sheboygan, Wisconsin - the bratwurst capitol of the United States - and came to Minnesota to study Entrepreneurship and Spanish at the University of Saint Thomas. Rory and I met there and after graduation, we quickly decided that we wanted to spend our lives together in the southwest metro. We live, work, and play in and around Eden Prairie. Our children attend Eden Prairie Public Schools and participate in a myriad of activities - including, but not limited to: basketball, baseball, lacrosse, and color guard. I’ve served on the Early Childhood PTO and enjoy volunteering at our kids’ schools. We are members of St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Edina.

My professional background is in operations and management in both the public and private sectors: education, non-profit and the IT industry. Thank you for the opportunity to put my experience to work for you representing our district in Saint Paul.
