It’s my favorite! What was the most challenging aspect of your childhood? I continue to feel so badly for children who are bullied, as I know how they feel due to the fact that I was “made fun of” as a kid for all sorts of things, but mainly my weight. It is so sad, and I believe parents really need to take responsibility for their
children, and if they see or hear them bullying to take it seriously and teach them that it won’t be tolerated. What turn of events brought you to the Albert Lea area? I was born here; however, I lived most of my childhhood in New Richland, and I graduated from New RichlandHartland-Ellendale-Geneva High School.

What song is your song? “I Cross My Heart” by George Strait because it always makes me smile and think about my husband. Where do you see yourself 10 years from now? Ten years older and right here in Albert Lea. I feel very fortunate and am very happy with my life in Albert Lea. I have a great job that I enjoy, and we are able to have a lot of family time, including time with grandmas, grandpas, aunts, uncles and cousins, which is very important to me.
