I grew up in Edina and graduated from Edina HS in 2012. I played hockey, and was in band and choir. I grew up with one brother, one sister, and a family mini golden doodle. 

I went to college in Maine at Bowdoin College. I rowed on the crew team, and majored in sociology. I also worked at Oasis Free Clinics.

I was an Americorps member in DC and worked on HIV testing and program management. 

I am now an MPH and work at a community health center in St. Paul. I live in SLP with my dog, Pringle.
