Meet Our Staff

I was born and raised in California and just graduated from Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington where I studied Sociology and Environmental Studies. I will be serving with the Open Door as an AmeriCorps member until May 2021 and am excited to be a part of the team. I just moved to Minneapolis and am enjoying getting to know the area. Yes, this winter will be my first Minnesota winter. No, I don’t think I am completely prepared! Other than preparing for winter, I spend my time cooking and baking, going on bike rides to visit Minnesota’s amazing lakes, and playing with my hamster Alfie. I am also working on setting up an aquaponics system that involves 8 fish, an aquarium, and lots of little plants. Feel free to ask me about it if you bump into me!​
