Being an only child in an itty-bitty town for the first 12 years of my life, I had to find ways to entertain myself. I always kept busy by spending time outside exploring the world around me. I’ve always had my head in a book, magazine, newspaper – whatever I can get my hands on to learn something new or for an escape to a different universe. I believe my love of learning, sense of curiosity and my empathetic nature is what eventually led me toward my current career based around insights.

When I’m not asking the important questions in the research world, I’m spending time with family, friends and looking for ways to meet new people. Other times, find me hiking, camping, biking, playing golf with my husband Scott, cheering on the Cyclones, Cardinals and Vikings, and cuddling my fur kids, Sirius and Gracie.
