Connector, Event planner

Bio

A community builder and educator, I have spent several years serving in student life on college campuses. Through a non-profit in Fargo, I helped created The Prairie Den in 2015. The Prairie Den is a coworking and gathering space, which serves the community much like a student union on a college campus. I believe that creating the conditions for authentic connections among people is vital to our communities' health and success, and that coworking and student life are two ways we can accomplish this.

I'm passionate about

Encouraging people to find and use their voices. Intentional iteration. Taking action on ideas.
