Swenson grew up out of state, but moved to Minot over 20 years ago while attending Minot State University - She has been proud to call Minot home ever since. Her focus has been helping non-profits grow by setting and achieving goals. Some of her specialties are marketing, grant writing, and community outreach. Swenson volunteers with the Minot Chamber EDC Women Connect committee and is a member of the Kiwanis Club of Minot. She looks forward to continuing the growth of the Minot Public School Foundation, meeting the needs of as many students and teachers as possible, and working with alumni to support them in making the most memorable class reunions.
