What do you like to do in your spare time? I am passionate about the sport of Curling! I golf when I can, love watching hockey at all levels (but especially NCAA Division I), and enjoy spending time with friends and family, especially my grown children, their families and our grandchildren.
What do you bring to REACH? I bring decades of management and organizational experience to the Board of REACH. I have been involved in many organizations over the years, and on many Boards, so, I’ve seen al lot. Since moving to Cloquet I have become a strong supporter of REACH’s Mission, Vision, and Objective. The S.O.S. program is amazing to me in how it makes a difference in the lives of our youth, how can you not love these programs! (I guess this means I bring commitment, passion and enthusiasm to the Board!)

What do you like to do in your spare time? First off, in my spare time I have 10 grandchildren ranging from the age 3 to 13. I am crochet whenever I relax – it is my de-stressor. My passion is to cook and bake so I can share with others. I am also very active in the VFW Auxiliary, serve on the Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors; and chairperson of the Cloquet Housing Authority Board.
What do you bring to REACH? I feel I bring years of experience that I have acquired through my job with AEOA working with youth to senior citizens. I am well informed on area resources. I understand the workings of a board rallying in successes and digging in during trying times.
