Summarize your career path. I started working in healthcare when I was 16 as a CNA near my hometown of Grandin, ND. It was then I realized my passion for serving the elderly population and decided to become a nurse. I went to school for my LPN at North Dakota State College of Science (NDSCS) in Wahpeton. I then worked at a clinic in Grand Forks for two years, mostly in Family Practice. I moved to Fargo and worked on building a preventative healthcare program for Essentia Health. I graduated from NDSCS with my RN degree in 2012. I then worked at Essentia Health on the Medical Surgical Unit for two years. At that time, I met my husband who resided in Alexandria. His mom was in the ICU at Douglas County Hospital, dying of a terminal cancer diagnosis. The first time I met her, she was on hospice services. I saw the tremendous impact hospice had on the entire family. It was then I knew I wanted to become a hospice nurse. I moved with my daughter to Alexandria and was hired as a hospice case manager with Knute Nelson Hospice. In 2015 I was promoted to Clinical Nurse Manager, managing hospice referrals. In May 2018, I was promoted to Director of Knute Nelson Hospice – the role I currently hold. Our hospice program has grown by nearly 100 percent in the past 2 years.

We also have 3 dogs, Lola, Howie and Mia. In my downtime, I love hanging out with my friends and family. I am a huge fan of country music so any chance that I can get together with friends to attend a concert, I am there. I am extremely close with my mom. She has always been and remains my number one support.
