What I do

I help business professionals with their human resources needs. Helping structure a company compensation plan, coaching on how to deal with difficult employees, to filling to assist with all HR needs while a current employee is on a leave of absence. I can help with all of this and more!

I am a wife, mother to two boys, daughter, sister, nature lover, memory maker and traveler. Most people would say I’m a great listener, as I love to hear other people’s stories. I love learning, reading, and new experiences. You can usually find me running to my kids’ events with our dog. I believe in taking risks and living a life you love. I call Minnesota home, where I live with my husband, Aaron, and our two sons. I am committed to making my business and community a diverse, inclusive, and equitable space for my clients and audience.

Other fun facts:

  • I grew up on a dairy farm.

  • On of my current goals is to visit all 63 National Parks throughout the United States.

  • My family has a dog named Lucky (our boys named her).
