I was born in Bloomington, MN. I moved to Hayward when I was eight and grew up on a resort. I've always loved animals, and being outside, but moving to the northwoods solidified that forever love of nature. After highschool, and some self- searching, I attended UW-River Falls where I received my bachelor's degree in Animal Science with an emphasis in equine studies. I had a quick experience with the Peace Corps after graduation. I moved back to Hayward in 2019. Since then I have settled here with my family, we have a new little one that we welcomed in December 2023. I have a strong desire to serve my community well. I believe in people working together to build bridges and become stronger through good relationships.
