What do you love about the Summit-University District?
My husband and I knew we'd found our home as soon as we walked into our Ashland Avenue house. Eight years later we've added two kids and a dog named Scooter to our family. You'll frequently find us hanging out on the front porch, playing in the park or walking to a coffee shop. We love living in the Summit-University District and look forward to decades of calling this wonderful community our home.
How have you been involved in your community in the past?
I organize an annual neighborhood party each September, attend community events, volunteer and attend Unity Unitarian Church. I have volunteered at Best Buy Teen Tech Centers and Cornerstone Advocacy in Bloomington, as well as organizing many volunteer events across the Twin Cities. Additionally, I have spent the last five years leading diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives at Best Buy and have earned two certificates in the field.
Please tell us about why you are running to join the SUPC Board:
Summit-University is a large and diverse district. My hope is to better know my neighbors within Subdistrict E and across all of the Summit-University Subdistricts; so that together, we can create a sense of community that spans the entire district.
