I oversee everything to do with the dogs and with clients/graduates. The majority of my job is managing the staff that handle the day-to-day decisions and functions of our program.
I live in a small town west of Minnetonka with my fiance, Jay, and our two small dogs. Jay owns a small business, so any extra time I have is spent helping out there or with my home remodel.

With a background in obedience and agility instruction, I love watching dog and handler teams learn and grow in their skills and experience. A master dog trainer lives inside every volunteer - helping them to raise and train capable, confident, and enthusiastic dogs is my jam. Seeing each dog's skills and strengths matched and tailored to meet their client's needs is absolutely the icing on the cake. It's all about the journey!
I currently share my home with 3 resident dogs, a rotation of program dogs, one cat, and a very patient and animal tolerant husband. In my spare time I enjoy training and competing with my personal dogs in agility, rally obedience, disc, and just about anything that the dogs find fun and strengthens our bond. In between time spent with dogs, I also love to travel.

My passion is combining at-risk populations and dogs because they all "win" with this model! I am energized seeing the "lightbulb" moments for the inmates when they work with a dog and achieve a training breakthrough. Providing inmates with a way to give back to society is a great way to increase their self-confidence. The dogs benefit from all the quality one-on-one attention and training from their inmate handlers in a prison setting. The inmates and the dogs grow and learn together, and it's a wonderful process to facilitate. I have a background in working with rescue dogs and cats and currently have three rescue dogs who share my home.

I assist with overseeing veterinary care for the program dogs. I am here if there are any medical issues that come up and to keep every dog healthy with scheduled exams and vaccines.
I spend the majority of my free time running around after 2 young kids, a large old Great Dane, and our cute chickens.

I work with volunteers to make sure our program dogs have host homes. It amazes me every day the amount of time and love our volunteers give to each dog here at Can Do Canines. When I’m not working, I stay busy with three kids at home. I usually spend my free time cheering them on at baseball, volleyball, and basketball games. Our family shares a home with a spoiled Border Collie, cat, and bunny.

I started working professionally with dogs in 2013 and joined Can Do Canines in 2019. In addition to training dogs that are in for final training, I also teach our FETCH class at the University of Minnesota. I occasionally fill in teaching classes and one-on-ones.
In my free time, I enjoy training and competing in agility with my border collies, hiking, or trying new restaurants around the metro area.

I help ensure that our dogs are in good health and up to date on vaccinations and tests. I also ensure that any supplies dogs may need are ready to be picked up.
Outside of work I like to spend time in nature, go on walks, work on art, or cuddle with my cats.
