Favorite Saint: I have 2 favorite saints. The first is St. Therese, The Little Flower. She has been my favorite since I was little. I admired how she did little things for God and never complained. She liked a simple and practical life of prayer. She is my confirmation saint also. The 2nd saint is Mother Teresa. I loved how she went out and cared for the sick and dying. She wanted them to feel loved even at the end of their life. I admire her and her commitment to the poor. I find the words that she spoke so inspirational.
Favorite Outside-Of-Work Activity: My favorite activities outside of work are those I spend with my family. You will find me at my son’s football, soccer, wrestling, trap or track and field events cheering their teams on. You can also find me gardening or relaxing with my dogs and cats.
Favorite Children’s Book: Pippi Longstocking, I loved how independent she was.
Favorite Place In Minnesota: This is a hard one, I have been to so many great places in Minnesota. My Family loves nature and camping. I can’t choose just one, they all have great memories.
