Awards and Accolades
I live in Minneapolis with my husband, children, and our cat. I enjoy reading, going to concerts, and spending time with my family when I am not at the center. I stumbled upon New Horizon Academy after graduating from Winona State University and was quickly deemed an NHA lifer. I started out as a preschool teacher in Champlin and moved into a management position here at Laurel Village in 2022.
