I am excited to work fully with Fun D'mentals. I took over as principle in 2023. I have helped out during the larger Minneapolis Mart shows since 2013. 

I have a teaching degree in Early Childhood Education and worked with preschool - school age kids for almost 10 years. I know and appreciate the importance of play in learning. 

I have been a gamer since I was very young. When I was a child my favorite game was Clue. Since then I have graduated to more strategic games but still enjoy deduction games. I am part of the Saint Paul Board Game Meet-Up Group where I met my husband. We both have a passion for playing board games.  We regularly attend MN's Con of the North, a board game convention in February. We have also attended Gen Con 2021, and Origins 2022 & 2023 for fun and plan to attend many more in the future. To learn more about this business, Fun D'mentals, I have also attended Astra 2021 & 2023 and this was my first year at GAMA EXPO 2023. 

As you can see I am passionate about games and helping others find what they want and need!

I have retired at the beginning of 2023 to enjoy my life at the lake with my husband who is also retired. I will continue to help out at the Minneapolis Mart Shows during 2023 and a few shows during 2024.

I am the previous principle of Fun D'mentals from 2011 to 2023. I have been in the specialty toy industry since 1999. In 2011, I bought what is now known as Fun D'mentals, a showroom at the Minneapolis Gift Mart and rep company.
