Personal Information
I was born and raised in the Rochester community and went to college at Mankato State University, where I graduated with a degree in Marketing along with minors in Psychology and Business Administration. After graduation, I moved back to Rochester for a career opportunity and to be closer to my family. Rochester has truly become home, especially as I continue to get involvement throughout the community.

Profession
Marketing and Communications Manager at the Rochester Downtown Alliance

Favorite Tree
Truffula Trees, but if I have to pick a real tree I would say a Cherry Blossom Tree.

Where I see RNeighbors five years from now
I think RNeighbors will continue to become more and more important, especially as the community continues to grow. Surveys have shown the importance of connecting neighbors and RNeighbors is a fantastic resource, so I’m very excited for the future!

Community Involvement
I’m currently chair of Rochester’s newest young professional group, Forty Below with the Rochester Area Builders, I also volunteers on a variety of different boards and committees such as Rochester’s National Night Out Committee (Co-Chair 2015 and 2016), Rochester Area Builders Marketing Committee (2014 to 2017) and I’m a recent graduate of the 2017 Leadership Greater Rochester Class with the Rochester Area Chamber of Commerce.
