What do you do?
Well, that’s an interesting question. Technically I do not work, but I have multiple roles for being unemployed! First and foremost, I am responsible for raising our daughters in an environment where they can grow and thrive. We made the choice to home educate five years ago, so I wear a few hats around the house. I’m their teacher, school nurse, counselor, lunch lady and taxi driver. I’m reclaiming my education right along with them! I’m also the director of a Christian Classical Community/Campus called Classical Conversations. (There are three campuses in town.) At CC, we’re surrounded by tutors, home-educating parents and over 50 students. We meet weekly during the school year. And then, my fun side-hustle, I’m an ambassador for an anti-aging hair and skincare company, Monat.
How are you involved in the Rochester, MN community?
We participate in as many events and educational outlets throughout the year as we can. We are part of field trip clubs, have been part of American Heritage Girls, violin, piano, and we are also part of the RAACHE choir. We are active in a brand new church called Echo, where we enjoy being part of the first impressions team–which includes me serving as a barista! I love meeting new friends! We are supporters of all things art and actively seek out local opportunities (Hint: Riverwood Studio Arts!) We frequent the library, parks, farmers market and local eateries. Oxbow and Quarry Hill are on our monthly rotation.
Tell us a little bit about your family.
I’m married to a handsome, hardworking, energetic man – Karl. He helps people buy and sell homes. Together we have three daughters; Sophia & Jocelyn are fraternal twins (10), 4th grade. And Brielle (5), shes in Kindergarten. Our girls are passionate about art, playing outside, music and spending as much time with friends as possible.
What are you most passionate about?
I’m passionate about encouraging and supporting others – where ever they may be at. I think we need more face to face interaction and support. So I do my best to let others know I care, they can trust and confide in me. I believe in deep connection, second chances, restoration and follow through.
I’m also passionate about all things ART. We paint in our home daily. I learn. Teach. And explore all mediums. Currently, my favorite is watercolor lettering!
What is your favorite book?
Current fave: The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah.
What is your dream job?
Is is weird to say that I’m living it? Because, that’s the truth!
