I live in Faribault with my husband, two daughters, and dog. I grew up in the Twin Cities, but went to high school in Pella, Iowa. After high school, I lived in Mankato for a while and attended Minnesota State University-Mankato for a few years as well. I have a Bachelor's and Master's Degree in German from the University of Northern Iowa. I have been a German teacher for 17 years and will start my 4th year in Faribault Public Schools this fall. I enjoy gardening and drum corps. I have been affiliated with the Govenaires Drum & Bugle Corps from St. Peter since 1993. I also enjoy travel - especially when I get to travel with students and watch the new experiences that come from going abroad through their eyes. Music is a big part of my family's life, and we enjoy theater - both participating in and going to shows.
  • Education: We must fully fund PreK-14 education in this state. A well-educated, well-trained workforce benefits all of us.
  • Autonomy: The decisions we make about our own bodies - especially medical decisions - are ours and ours alone to make.
  • Equity: We must work to achieve equity in our public systems. The United States of America's strength is in its diversity and variety of its people. We must work together to create communities where all members thrive.
