Connection Becomes Community
Some of the most meaningful things I’ve been part of began simply because people came together.
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.
I’ve Been a Community Builder
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 Maple Grove Lions board member and active volunteer, I helped raise funds, worked with the Kids Sight 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 the Domestic Abuse Legal Advocacy Center. 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.
