I am from Mankato, Minnesota and have lived here all my life , except for when my husband and I lived in Lincoln, Nebraska while he attended graduate school. We have three beautiful grown children - Kate, Mac Kenzie (Mac), and Meredith, all loving life and those dearest to them.

I attended Minnesota State University in Mankato (walking these very same halls I presently work in at Old Main) and received an A.A. degree in 1996. In 2004, I received my B.A. degree from Concordia University-St. Paul, Minn., in Organizational Management and Communication.

I enjoy Old Main Village where I am able, once again, to work with seniors, as I had in prior years. I have worked with different populations of people: those with special needs and in the behavioral health field; with children grades K-12; and, now full circle with the senior population. I am able to help guide seniors and their families in the all important decision-making processes that people face as they seek maximum independence and highest quality living opportunities.

I enjoy photography, painting, the warmth of summer, hiking, traveling and spending time with family and friends where love, contentment and joy grows. I am very happy to be at Old Main Village and appreciate the warm welcome.
