Liv grew up in the St Paul suburb of Inver Grove Heights. To foster her passion for dance, education, and race and ethnic studies, she graduated from St Olaf College with a degree in all three disciplines. Her desire to improve higher education has led her to the University of Minnesota Foundation, where she works as an Associate Project Manager. Her hobbies can be described in three words: Books, Coffee, and Creativity. Liv can often be found lost in a good book and she one day hopes to categorize her collection as an official library. She has recently rediscovered her love of baking and enjoys creating and donating cakes to ‘For Goodness Cakes.’ Liv is excited to meet new people, connect with her community, and support the long-standing tradition of volunteerism through Winter Carnival.
