With over 31 years of gaming experience working as an auditor in the Gaming Division for the state, I joined the NG Gaming team in August 2018.
Originally from a small town in southwestern North Dakota (Mott), I currently reside in Bismarck. I am a CPA (retired) and do the billing and reporting for the electronic pull tabs for NGG. One of the perks of my position is that it allows me to continue to interact with gaming managers, accounting personnel for organizations, and Grover Gaming personnel.

I'm finding it very interesting being on the "other side" of gaming and involved in the electronic pull tab activity.

After that, I moved on to smaller companies, where I worked in customer service, then as a loan manager at a Credit Union, and most recently, was a Service Expert at Discovery Benefits.
My husband, Steve, and I have four children, Michael, Stephanie, and Jessica, who live in the Fargo/Moorhead area, and Michelle, our first born, lives in Woodbury, MN. I also have three grandchildren that I love spending time with, and a 4 th on the way. We enjoy time at our family lake cabin together, paddle boarding, fishing, and collecting night crawlers just for fun. In my free time, I enjoy walking my dog, gardening, canning, and am part of a very competitive family that vies to get the first tomato of the season. I like working through changes and am enjoying this new challenge at NG Gaming!
