PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

After graduation, Ms. Nelson worked as a Therapeutic Assistant in a long-term care facility. She married in 1991 and had her first child in 1993. As the children continued to populate their home, she decided to be a stay-at-home mom.

She opened a licensed daycare and operated this from her home for the next 17 years. During this time, she self-published three books, had more children, and transitioned her licensed daycare into a licensed foster care. They then adopted twin girls through the Anoka County Foster Care program. Once the adoption was final, she closed her business operating a foster care and started working for PACT.

Ms. Nelson began her PACT experience as a part-time paraprofessional on the elementary side. She had so much free time on her hands as now all of her children were at PACT during the day hours so she started to pick up extra hours at PACT as a substitute. She worked all over the school during various job responsibilities. She applied and was offered a position at PACT in the front office answering phones and clerical responsibilities and eventually landed her current position as the Office Assistant/Student Management.

LIFE OUTSIDE PACT

Ms. Nelson lives in Coon Rapids with her husband, Bruce, and 4 of their 6 children. She is always busy between being a mom, a wife, and a student. She is attending Capella University to finish her degree in Business Management.
