Professional Burnout
Jan. 20, 2022 12:00 p.m.
​Statewide Health Improvement Partnership (SHIP) is working to create healthier communities across Minnesota by expanding opportunities for active living, healthy eating and tobacco-free living. Good health is created where we live, work, learn and play. Schools, businesses, apartment owners/managers, farmers, community groups, senior organizations, hospitals, clinics, planning entities, Chambers of Commerce, faith communities and many more partners are creating better health together through SHIP all across Minnesota. I have lived in Waseca for 8 years, my husband is born and raised Waseca and that is the reason I ended up here when we moved back from Chicago, where we met. We now have a 2.5 year old boy, along with a 15 week old black lab puppy and a cat that doesn’t approve of the puppy. I grew up in Edina and I have a Bachelors of Arts from Saint Thomas University in Psychology with a minor in Japanese. Prior to this, I worked for 6 years at South Country Health Alliance doing mental health and elderly waiver services in their Health Services Department. After doing the same thing every day, I decided it was time for a change. I have now been in my role as the SHIP Community Health Coordinator with Le Sueur – Waseca Community Health Board for six months and I love being able to do the work I’m doing now. Currently, I am working with our schools to bring more wellness practices to the staff and students, do an educational presentation on tobacco and vaping and expanding the school’s garden to make it wheelchair accessible. Within the community, I am working to establish a Men’s Shed program for our retired/semi-retired gentlemen, establish a new community garden, expand the reach of our local food shelves with services they can provide, revamping workplace wellness to help with retaining employees as well as drawing new employees to apply. I am also working to establish a farm to childcare program to bring more gardens to our childcare centers to provide more fresh vegetables to the kids. There is also a community childcare project in the works that I am very excited about. I enjoy being busy and I am looking forward to seeing these projects come to fruition, as well as, any new projects that will come my way in the future. |

Microagressions and Minnesota Nice
Feb. 17, 2022 12:00 p.m.
Destiny is the founder of B.E.A.M.
I founded B.E.A.M.- Black Excellence Around Minnesota, in 2018 after noticing that there was a lack of racial equity in my community, especially in the education being provided to youth. B.E.AM is a multifaceted business that specializes in racial equity, strategic planning, and education. My goal is to help you become more knowledgeable and successful in Racial Equity.
"I am determined to eliminate racism, educate and motivate people, businesses, schools, and families one day at a time. I know that change matters and I believe success happens here." Destiny will be speaking on Microagressions and how that translate into Minnesota Nice.

A Look Forward to Their Seventh Season of Business
Jun. 02, 2022 12:00 p.m.
A 55-acre farm and a vision. In a quest to provide a unique outdoor experience for visitors, utilize the beautiful land they inhabit, connect with their local farming community, and grow agritourism in the Waseca area, Bill Bartz and Emily Knudsen dreamed up and brought to life the Pleasant Grove Pizza Farm. Their hope is to attract anyone and everyone from Blooming Grove Township and far, to enjoy yummy food, the beautiful landscape, amazing music, and wonderful company. From the Waseca County News to the New York Times and from KEYC to the Magnolia Network, PGPF has had tremendous growth over the last two years. They were able to keep going strong through the thick of COVID. |
