Connection Becomes Community

Some of the most meaningful things I’ve been part of began simply because people came together.

I’ve Been a Community Builder

Before I had a title for the work, I was already bringing people together making introductions, opening doors, and noticing who might benefit
from knowing one another.

Maple Grove Business Association

For four years, the Maple Grove Business Association gave me the opportunity to bring local businesses and people together through events, relationships, and community involvement.

Maple Grove Lions

As a past Maple Grove Lions board member and volunteer, I helped raise funds, worked with the Kidsight program, and founded Lions Day at the Capitol in 2025.

Hennepin County
Sheriff’s Office
Community Advisory Committee

I serve on the Hennepin County Sheriff's Community Advisory Board, where residents give the Sheriff's Office feedback on its practices and policies.

Community in Action

Domestic Violence
Awareness & Prevention

I've helped residents, police departments, and city staff across Hennepin County recognize the signs in their own communities, and I raise funds for Advocacy organiations. In October 2024, I led Maple Grove's Domestic Violence Awareness Month Community Tribute, hosted by Maria's Voice for its five-year anniversary.

Community has never been something I simply belonged to.
It has been something
I helped build.
