After graduation, Ms. Kessler was hired at the North Dakota State University Foundation and Alumni Association as an Assistant Director of Events for several years where she worked with NDSU Alumni and volunteers to plan large-scale events in an effort to raise money for scholarships and the school in general. After that, she worked at Saint John's University in the Events and Alumni Relations Department where she worked closely with the School of Theology board members and alumni to plan retreats and assist in implementing action plans, in addition to executing events to raise money for the school.

She is married and had their first child in July of 2021. She loves being outdoors and spending time with family. She especially loves everything summer, from boating to camping and hiking!

She loves the sense of community between not only staff but also PACT families and students. We have the best families who are always willing to help out when needed.
