Current Role: Retired after a 32-year career at Brakebush

Education: Degree in Business from the University of Wisconsin–River Falls

Why I serve: Growing up, I attended a large suburban high school in Minnesota, where my graduating class had over 900 students. While bigger schools may offer more programs, they often lack opportunities for all students to participate. I serve on MEE to help preserve Montello’s close-knit, inclusive educational experience, ensuring every student has the chance to be involved.
