sations and healthy teen debates. My husband, Doug, and I are parents to three amazing children who fill our lives with laughter, excitement, fun, tears and tantrums. We love every second of our wild parenting journey together and find joy in hiking, cooking and most importantly traveling with our small crew.

Doug is my inspiration. He is the most honest, fun, patient, selfless person I know. He builds my confidence, encourages me to continue to develop my skills and supports my creativity and ideas. He is my go-to person during the hardest times and the very best times of my life.

What do you do? (job, community involvement)

Associate Dean of Academic Affairs at Wisconsin Indianhead Technical College. I’m also a founder of Beer & Hymns Duluth and a quiz writer for Perfect Duluth Day. I regularly volunteer as an usher for the Duluth Playhouse, serve on the Wise Fool Theater board, and judge FIRST robotics at the Lake Superior regional.

How do you spend your free time?

I enjoy experiencing the local arts scene, competing in trivia, knitting, gardening, reading, playing board games and dancing (tap, hip-hop, jazz, belly dance and hula).

What do you do? (job, community involvement)

Director of Fuse and Leadership Duluth at the Duluth Area Chamber of Commerce

How do you spend your free time?

Time off for me includes toddler snuggles, fascinating tween conver-

The hills, rivers, waterfalls, trees and lake feed my soul and the supportive community keeps me strongly rooted in Duluth.

What words of wisdom do you live by?

You cannot get through it, until you get to it.

I’ve never seen a community that is this supportive of one another, especially with the entrepreneur surge we’ve seen lately. Anyone that is from Duluth wants to support Duluthians. I just think that Duluth has really found its niche in the last few years and there are so many opportunities for young professionals that are moving to the area and for people that have lived here for a few years.

My 8-year-old stepdaughter, June, inspires me every day with her creativity and fearlessness. I’m an introvert by nature, and June’s outgoing personality forces me outside of my comfort zone on a regular basis. It’s such a joy to hear her perspective on the world.

What keeps you in the Twin Ports?

I love the community. There are so many wonderful folks who share their talents and their passions. And, of course, that marvelous lake. What words of wisdom do you live by?

“Isn’t it nice to think that tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet?” (I feel like this quote from “Anne of Green Gables” has become my mantra this year as I transitioned into a new career!)

I think Superior has a lot of good stuff going on right now. I think Jim Paine as mayor, he’s got a lot of really progressive ideas that I think are really great. Seeing those types of things in a smaller town is really cool.
