I am a graduate from St. Cloud State University with a B.S. in Business Management with a focus on Entrepreneurship. Growing up, both of my parents were and are entrepreneurs with their own businesses, allowing me to intrinsically understand the struggles of a small business owner. Over the years, I have relentlessly invested myself in learning the systems and processes that help a company succeed. I have worked with the Small Business Development Center, Venture Capitalists, manufacturing consulting companies, and a multitude of small businesses. 

I am a resident of Uncasville, CT and have lived here for two years with my husband, two cats, and my Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. Ever since I moved, I loved connecting with the local community and served on the Montville Farmer's Market committee for a year. Between living in Florida, Washington, Minnesota, and now Connecticut I have been able to experience the country in unique ways, helping me understand how the different people in the country like to work and play.
