KMOT-TV North Dakota's NBC News Leader

I work two businesses out of my home in Bismarck. I’m a mother two year old Ben, and Samantha, six months old. My husband, Bill, is an Aviation Officer for the ND Army National Guard, where he flies the Blackhawk helicopter.

Being a mom and having a career was important to me, so I have decided to work from home so I can have both.

I serve as the Executive Director for the U.S. Durum Growers Association. I represent Durum producers across the nation. The U.S. Durum Growers Association mission is to provide a voice for durum producers on agricultural policy and the durum industry, while striving to keep producers informed about the latest technology in durum production.

I also work as an Independent Executive for ZRII. I’m one of the first people in North Dakota to introduce this new product to people in the Midwest. I look for people that want to improve their health through ZRII, but I’ m also looking for people that want to build this business with me.
