When did you join the Visit Fargo-Moorhead team?
October 2022
What do you enjoy most about working at Visit Fargo-Moorhead?
I love sharing entertainment ideas with visitors who come to the Welcome Center! My family's favorites are the buffalo at the Red River Zoo, the Ferris wheel at SCHEELS, and mini-golf at Thunder Road.
Share a fun fact about yourself.
My grandparents were 100% Scandinavian, and I have an arm full of Nordic-inspired tattoos. Think folk art, floral, the trees grown by my midwestern grandfather.
What's a Fargo-Moorhead experience you consider a "can't miss"?
The Historic Moorhead Dairy Queen is open seasonally and less than five minutes from our house. On March 1st of every year – rain, shine, or snow – my daughters and I join the line wrapped around the building to grab our first dilly bars of the season.
If you could only eat one Fargo-Moorhead food forever, what would it be?
I could eat the NoDak Smash Burger from Unicorn Park in Brewhalla every day of the year!
