I currently live in Blaine, MN. I am a proud, native Minnesotan. I have been married to my husband, Bruce, for 30 years. We have four children, Andrew, Claudia, Breanna, and Jackson. We also have two cats, named Meow and Simon.
I was a substitute teacher for over 25 years, working at a number of school districts in the west and northwest suburbs of Minneapolis. My degree is in Secondary Education, English and Theatre Arts. I worked for Lyric Arts Main Street Stage as an assistant stage manager for three seasons. I have also held my master barbers license and have worked in a business office.
I was active as a volunteer in the Minnesota Jaycees, the Girl Scouts of America, and the Boy Scouts of America.
Family of God Lutheran Church in Brooklyn Park, MN has been my spiritual home for over 20 years. I was a nursery caregiver, confirmation guide, VBS teacher, director, and had written both VBS curriculum and an interactive game, called The Quest, for our middle schoolers. I was also been very active in our drama ministry as well as other events of the church.
I completed two years of internship at Zion Lutheran Church in South Minneapolis. I graduated from Luther Seminary with a Masters of Divinity, on June 5th, 2022
