Over the last 30 years, I have had a unique career - from serving as an aide on Capitol Hill, to working as a regulatory and legislative assistant at a law firm in Washington DC to conceptualizing, planning and facilitating conferences at the IU Kelley School of Businsss. After taking a break to focus on family, I have spent the last decade engaged in providing exemplary customer service and store management at both corporate and family-owned retail businesses in the Twin Cities area. I pride myself on community building and creating both exceptional vendor and customer relationships. My goal is to create a thriving and successful environment for staff, vendors, customers, and community partners.
