I am passionate about helping people grow, connect, and thrive. I have my bachelor’s degree in early childhood education from Minnesota State University Moorhead, and I started my career as a Preschool teacher. I worked with children and families for 4 years in this field. At The Village, I support families through facilitating wraparound meetings, Family Group Decision Making (FGDM), and Family Skills.  My work is guided by empathy, strength-building, and a commitment to empowering parents, children, and families. Outside of work, I love to be outdoors, spending time with family and friends, or exploring new hobbies.
