What do you believe is a strength of Keystone as an organization?

Keystone’s focus truly is on organizational impact through business needs + human needs. The team here lives our core values in how we interact with each other, our clients and partners. My personal favorites are being your partner in the journey and raw authenticity.

What is your favorite past time?

At the top of my list is traveling to new places and/or spending time at our family cabin in Cold Spring, MN with my husband and 3 boys. But in recent years I have also been pursuing a few new creative outlets including watercolor painting, gardening and putting together floral arrangements.

What’s your most used app?

I have two. Google maps – I’m directionally impaired and would literally be lost all the time without it. And Blossom – as a plant enthusiast it is my go-to plant care guide.
