I grew up in Buffalo County, graduated from Mondovi High School, and attended UW-River Falls, and earned a Political Science Degree with a Sociology minor. I have been the general leader of the B-BC 4-H Club for the last 15 years. I stayed home to raise my children, but now have returned to work as a substitute teacher/paraprofessional.  I live with my husband Matt and have two grown children.  

My hope is to combine my passion for lifelong learning to help youth to gain life skills. I am looking forward to planning some pop-up 4-H Spark activities with our new 3D and laser engraver printers. I will be responsible for the Festival of Arts. I am excited to help leaders and youth with the county-wide service-learning project. I am proud to be part of the 4-H Youth Development team in Buffalo County!
