ACTIVITIES
I am an avid reader of all genres and have participated in several book study groups. I also enjoy volunteering and participating in events hosted by my current employer, Sanford Health. My children and I enjoy short road trips with no destination in mind. I am always searching for new information, hence the need to pursue a third time at college.
