It is an honor for me to serve as Mayor of Cromwell.
My husband and I built our retirement home and moved to Cromwell in 2012. My goal as Mayor has always been to improve the quality of life for the people in this community and I try to keep that focus on all that I do. My willingness to get involved in the community and my belief in transparency has enabled me to get t know many of the people I serve. Working together with our City Council, many new and exciting things are happening in our city. If you see me around town, please take the time to come up and talk to me. Getting to know the people helps me do my job better.
Thank you, Community of Cromwell, for the support you have given me. I'll strive to keep working hard for you.

About me:
I moved back to Cromwell in 2020 after living in Fargo, Omaha and Duluth for the better part of a decade. My background is in accounting, focused on individual and small business tax preparation. I graduated from University of Nebraska-Omaha and now work for a CPA firm in Cloquet. I expect to have my CPA license in the summer of 2022.
In late 2021, I was approached by Ray Lally to fill the seat vacated by Josh Hage-King. This is my first time holding public office and have no regrets about accepting the role so far. Serving on the city council is a unique opportunity to help shape the future of Cromwell as my initial term coincides with several major projects, both privately and publicly funded. My goal as a council member is to encourage both residential and commercial growth by pursuing fiscally responsible projects and making decisions that improve our quality of life.
