I’m originally from Sudbury, Ontario. The TV show “Letterkenny” is filmed in my hometown, and I actually played youth hockey with one of the main actors!
I played Division I hockey at the University of Vermont, but I may be better remembered for founding an annual event called “Pack the Gut.”
Moving to North Dakota was supposed to be a 3 year plan. I’ve now lived here since 2015!
I only spoke French as a kid and did all of my schooling in French until I was 17. We gave both of our kids French names to honor my French Canadian roots, Chloé & Rémi.
I can solve a Rubik’s Cube.
My husband wanted to name the business “Fruition Nutrition.” Pivot was inspired by a Friends sweatshirt hanging in my closet. I drew the original logo on a whiteboard, and local graphic designer Jack Sitter brought it to life!
I got married on Friday the 13th, and our daughter was also born on Friday the 13th.
I’ve lived in Ontario, British Columbia, Vermont, Missouri, Minnesota, and North Dakota.
