Location: Brainerd Forestview Middle School

Hired: 2021

Works with clients ages: 10-14

I love my work—building connections with families and helping their children get the services they need is immensely fulfilling.

I truly enjoy working for Northern Pines and collaborating with my wonderful team and colleagues at Forestview Middle School. My experience here has been incredibly positive and deeply rewarding. I’ve never worked for an organization that offers such flexibility and is so genuinely supportive of maintaining a healthy work-life balance and prioritizing self-care.

In my free time, I love being with my husband and our kids. I’m happiest with a cup of coffee in hand, a paintbrush nearby, good music playing and a good fiction book to get lost in, especially in the fall (my favorite season).
