She served as Provost from 2007-2011 and then in 2011 she was also the Special Assistant to the President at Minnesota State Community and Technical College at Fergus Falls. Her responsibilities included all academic programs, student life, campus buildings and grounds, community engagement and new program development.

Across the eleven-year lifetime of Farm in the City, she raised over one million dollars from individuals, corporations and foundations to support this initiative.
