Service to community has always been a foundation in both personal and professional life.  Born in Minnesota to a farming family, moved to Casper in 1969.  Married with one son who graduated Medical school May of 2017 and has graduated residency in Casper (July of 2020) at UW/Wyoming Family Practice in Family Practice with a focus on Preventative Medicine and Nutrition.

With over 40 years of experience in sales, marketing and hospitality she has found her skills bring a unique perspective to the non-profit world.  She has been the driving force behind many local food activities in Casper, WY including coordinating low-income elementary school greenhouse development and operation; operating a local CSA program and working with the State and Natrona County School District’s Farm-to-School Program. She is a very active founding member of the Wyoming Food Coalition: WY Food Matters, the Wyoming Farmers Market Association and WY Farm-to-Plate stakeholder network.  She is currently active and involved with her local community, as a member of the Chamber of Commerce, (agriculture committee), Fresh Foods Wyoming, and Wyoming Healthy Eating and has been certified as a Jr. Master Gardner Trainer.

Her dedication to local foods has helped her develop a statewide network of key producers and buyers who share the vision of a robust local food system in Wyoming.
