Her career has revolved around growing and supporting membership groups across many sectors, including nonprofits, craft brewers and more. 

Growing up in Polson, Montana, she spent her childhood raising lambs, pigs, chickens, and more through her local 4-H program, which shaped her appreciation of local food and agricultural production.
