Women Anglers of Minnesota

I joined WAM in 2016 after searching for female fishing organizations on Facebook. I was struggling to find anyone to go fishing with. Luckily, I found WAM, and I have been on the board ever since! I began as the membership director/co-director then moved into the vice president role. I have been VP for the past 2 years and have enjoyed facilitating the tournaments and serving as the sponsor liaison. As VP, I will continue to work hard to establish new and maintain current relationships with the top businesses in the outdoor industry. I am very proud of the work the board has done in the past few years developing WAM’s in person education activities and growing the open and ice tournaments. I am particularly proud of the open water tournament this past year and the 45th Anniversary celebration! I enjoy the opportunity to get together at these fun events with all my WAMMie sisters! Finally, as the VP, I will help the board strengthen our commitment to the membership through in person fishing and educational events. Part of the reason I love WAM so much is all of the friendships I have created and maintained over the years. I was once a “newbie” and coming to an event was an opportunity to meet new fishing friends!

A little bit about me, I am a general surgeon and live in Hutchinson MN with my husband (Jeremy). We have a cabin in Osakis, MN and my husband is a fishing guide, so I am in Osakis ALOT! I look forward to the opportunity to be the VP of WAM! Cheers, and tight lines ladies!
