I grew up on a farm near Lafayette, MN. My passion for caring for animals led to a wide variety of pets and farm animals throughout the years. I graduated from Ridgewater College in Willmar in 2012 with a Veterinary Technology degree.

I reside in New Ulm with my husband Scott and our pets; a sweet dog named Twyla and four entertaining cats named Beans, Hazel, JoJo, and Stevie. I love being an aunt to 3 nephews and 3 nieces. In my leisure time, I enjoy helping with the remodel of our house, caring for my beautiful perennials, and hanging out at my parent's farm.
