Xcel Energy supports growth and development, as well as, the many organizations that provide essential services to communities and residents. Within the three Wisconsin counties I serve, I enjoy building relationships and partnerships with local governments, non-profit organizations and community leaders. As a leader in the energy transition to Renewable Energy Sources, I am excited to share Xcel Energy's vision for a cleaner future.

I was responsible for the internal and external communications, as well as, the planning, funding, marketing, creative and execution of Chamber membership programs and community events. This included managing volunteers, committees and relationships. The development of future community leaders through the Leadership Hudson program is an area I greatly enjoyed and am proud to have contributed. Revitalization of community events, such as Spirit of the St. Croix Art Festival aided in the development of organizational partnerships and economic vitality as we grew the event to attract over 14,000 guests. Other accomplishments include; • Initiation of a statewide collaboration, which resulted in an award-winning tourism initiative.• Developed and implemented an annual sponsorship commitment program.• Served as managing editor for the monthly Chamber e-newsletter.• Strengthened relations with city leaders, business leaders, and local organizations.
