Family/interests: My husband Brett and I two daughters in high school, and one just beginning studies here at MSUM. We enjoy living on a small farmsead in the Harwood, ND area. Our daughters are very active in the fine arts, so we find much of our time involved with supporting those pursuits. I enjoy reading, singning, and any time spent with my family. We especially enjoy gardening, being outdoors on the farm, and getting together with our families. Being a native North Dakotan, I really love to experience the changing of the seasons, yes all four of them.
