I’m a South Dakota native who believes in the power of roots—both at home and in my career. Beyond my professional life, I find great fulfillment in serving my community through volunteering with 4-H, my church, and the Republican Party.

When I’m not 'momming' for my six wonderful kids or running them to their various activities, I find my peace in the garden, riding horses, or getting lost in a good book. I’m a firm believer in the balance between a hard day's work and a quiet evening with the family.
