I grew up in Fargo attending Fargo Public Schools. After graduating from Fargo South High, I attended the University of Nebraska and majored in English. I then attended law school at the University of North Dakota. After graduating from law school, I moved to Wisconsin where I worked as a federal law clerk, associate at a large law firm, and as a professional development director at the University of Wisconsin Law School. 

In 2017, I moved back to Fargo when I started my dream job as an Assistant United States Attorney in Fargo's United States Attorney's Office. I knew moving back to Fargo would be fantastic for me because I would be closer to family and my children would be able to receive terrific educations through Fargo Public Schools. 

I was elected to the Fargo School Board in 2022 and have been working hard to advocate for all students, support and enrich educators, and serve with authenticity, empathy, and transparency. I have served as the board President and am currently serving my second year as the Negotiations Committee Chair. I have worked hard to cultivate strong relationships with educators and successfully negotiated the current teacher contract. It would be an honor to continue to serve on the Fargo School Board.
