Personal
“I am originally from Senegal, West Africa, and yes, the only place I lived in the US is MN. I learned to love the four seasons and going up Nord like most Minnesotans. I speak four languages, including French, English, Wolof, and Pulaar). I moved to the U.S. in 2000 and met my husband here. We have two beautiful children, a boy and a girl. I value family and friends, I am outgoing, I love to cook and to entertain friends. I love to travel and meet new people. I like to listen to everyone’s story because each story is unique. I enjoy giving back to the community. I organize yearly medical trips with providers and nurses to my country, to deliver healthcare to people in need. I am very much interested in integrative health.”
