As the Chair of the Wrenshall School Board and a local small-business owner, I have spent my career finding common ground in challenging moments. My leadership style is rooted in a "solutions-first" mindset, which helped me lead our district through its long consolidation effort and work across the aisle at the Minnesota Capitol in 2025 to secure increased aid for our schools. I believe that schools are the heart of our communities, and my experience as a national semi-finalist on the Gustavus Adolphus forensics team taught me early on that effective communication and persistence are the keys to moving us forward. Whether I am advocating for curriculum funding or rural vitality, I bring a collaborative spirit to the table to ensure our region’s future is bright and stable.

My perspective is shaped not just by public service, but by the daily realities of running my businesses, Pure Event Planning & Design and Decor Lab Duluth. I understand the hurdles facing local entrepreneurs and working families because I live them every day. When I’m not working, I’m often found volunteering with equine rescue efforts or at home with my husband, Cole, our two children, and our lively group of animals—including four horses and an alpaca.

I’m running for the Senate because I believe in leading with joy, listening well, and working hard to build a Minnesota where our schools are strong, our economy is thriving, and our communities are safe for everyone.
