Born and raised in the Twin Cities, educated in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, settled contentedly in St. Louis Park, MN. I like to think of myself as a ritualistic & organized planner. As "Parks and Recreation" Leslie Knope would say, a hobby of mine would include "organizing my agenda." Yes, seriously. I put pride and enthusiasm into everything I do, whether it be decorating my cozy apartment for an upcoming holiday, journaling, or graying out a completed task on a marketing timing & action grid. It's the little things. And I'd like to think those are what keep us going.
