I joined the SWE-MN section in 1998, and have held a variety of roles throughout the Society.
I am currently serving as the Director of Membership Initiatives on the Board of Directors, and served as the Director of Regions in FY09 and FY10.
At the region level, I have served as the Region H Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Secretary. In FY04, I served as the SWE-MN President, and have also served the Minnesota Section as the Vice President, Secretary, Section Representative, Membership Chair and Awards Chair.
I received my undergraduate degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Iowa,
master’s degree in Biomaterials from the University of Minnesota – Twin Cities, and medical
device certificate from the University of St. Thomas.
I am currently employed at Medtronic as an Engineering Program Manager. I am leading product development projects in the Neuromodulation business sector in the Therapy Delivery Engineering group, which develops leads, catheters and accessories for implantable neurostimulation and infusion systems.
Additionally, I cherish the time I spend with my husband, Kevin, and young children, Lukas and
Kyra. Kevin is a math teacher, and soccer, hockey and golf coach at East Ridge High School
in Woodbury. Lukas, Kyra, and I enjoy attending Kevin’s games, as well as participating in a
variety of lessons and sports such as skating, swimming, soccer, and t-ball throughout the year.
I also enjoy baking, reading and traveling.
In July, I participated in a Navy submarine embark from Point Loma Naval Base as part of an engineering educator orientation visit, representing SWE. The photos were taken during this trip, in which I spent half a day in a nuclear submarine which went to the depth of 600 feet and about 25 miles off the coast of San Diego.
