About



history

I graduated from Becker High School in 2013 and took several years away from school. In that time I worked as a camera salesman, a wedding photographer, and a traveling studio portrait photographer. While traveling I worked across North and South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin. Then I went back to school at St Cloud Technical and Community College, where I earned my AAS in Computer programming.

Now located in Red Wing, I am excited for what’s to come for me.


work

Once I grew tired of the sporadic and seasonal nature of that work, I made the big decision to quit my job as a photographer and take the class to get my Nursing Assistant certification. That class took about a month to complete, and seven days after receiving my certification, I got my first job as a CNA.

After two years of working as a CNA I took another class to get my Trained Medication Aide certification and secured a full-time position as a TMA.

After going back to school, I now work as a developer.


play

In the few spaces between work and other obligations that crop up: I’ve been learning to sew in order to alter my clothes, I go out with friends every once in a while, and Lilydog(see below) and I explore the bluffs and beautiful drives.

Also, I’m a burgeoning MTG player, I prefer blue-black-white.


dog

Lilly Anne(aka. Lillian, Chilly, Chillian, The Chilean Miner, Lilydog, and The Lil Monster) has been my partner in crime since 2015. She's been by my side through some very tough times, and she always makes me feel loved and needed. As she get’s older I realize how truly blessed I am to have her in my life.
