I'm honored to join the Lakes Area United Way board. Having spent 23 years at Cuyuna Regional Medical Center, I've seen firsthand the power of community collaboration and the importance of a people-first leadership approach. I'm driven by the opportunity to improve human life and am a firm believer in building strong relationships and trust. Known as a relentless optimist who loves to connect the dots, I'm adept at finding efficient, high-value solutions to complex challenges. I'm excited to bring this dedication—along with a good dose of humor—to the board.
