District 10A

Brainerd, MN

Born in southwest Minnesota, raised in the Twin Cities, educated in Moorhead, and now living in the Brainerd Lakes Area, I’ve experienced the diversity of communities that make Minnesota strong. With backgrounds in economics, property management, inventory operations, and small business ownership, I understand the real-world challenges families and businesses face. I’m passionate about community service, sustainability, animal rescue, and building practical solutions that strengthen local communities and create opportunities for the future
