I have lived in Winona since 1999 and have grown to love this community over the years and am happy to call it my home.

It is important to me to ensure a safe and thriving city for our next generation and one of the worst threats our children face is the fentanyl epidemic. Working to bring awareness and education to our children and the people who lead them into their adult life is critical. Fentanyl is an invisible enemy, and I want to be a part of bringing its devastation into the light.

I have had the opportunity to work in a ministry leader role supporting people who struggle with many different issues, been involved with a women’s resource center in Wisconsin and have experienced the life changing results of pouring onto people who need help. RIPple is an opportunity for me to continue to give to a community that has given me so much.
