How did you connect with NORTHFORCE?
I have a good friend who worked for Head of the Lakes United Way who shared the northforce.org job post with me. I’m excited to work with regional employers and help them connect with the talent pool of candidates who are looking to work in the Northland!
What keeps you #NorthByChoice?
Lake Superior, friends and family, green space — all of the above! I love to hike, run, and get into the woods. My husband and I are water lovers — we fish, kayak, and swim. We’re also blessed to be near our family.
