Nancy has worked and volunteered in many churches AND she has co-owned a graphic design company, created a season of pop-up markets, served as operations & administrative manager for a medical device research company, and coordinated orthopaedic conferences for HCMC. She is married and has two married adult children, a toddler grandson, and a teenaged step-grandson. Nancy graduated from the University of Minnesota (Twin Cities) and holds a B.A. degree in English.

When she has a day to play, Nancy loves going for walks (especially at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum), reading, tending her gardens and gnome homes, and trying new recipes. At the end of every day, Nancy is exuberantly greeted by Doug, a miniature poodle, and Kitten, a rescue cat!
