Hi there, I'm the Regional Event Coordinator for the Northfield/Faribault/Owatonna area, and I am looking foreward to planning fun events and meeting cool new people! I am a late-40s wife and a mother of a wonderful 10-year-old neurospicy son. We are blessed to live on a hobby farm just outside of Northfield, which is great because we are animal lovers. Currently, we have 4 pet fish, a ball python, 3 wonderful kitties, a silly doggo, and 16 chickens. This summer we plan to add a number of goats and possibly a miniature donkey! I was diagnosed in my early 40s with ADHD and it explained so much, like all my various interests and hobbies. I'm an avid crafter (and craft-supply-collector), I collect rocks and minerals, I'm a huge geek, and I love playing TTRPGS (and collecting game books!), I paint gaming miniatures and run a group for mini painters... I could write many pages about all my hobbies! For work, I drive a school bus for special needs and neurodivergent students, and I also volunteer as a board member at the Cannon Valley Makers makerspace in Dundas.
