In this special episode of Meet Your Neighbor, I sit down with my wife, Kjersten Merila, to talk about her journey from growing up as an only child in a small town in southern Minnesota to building a fulfilling career at Fairview Health, where she’s spent the last 19 years. We also discuss her college years at St. Scholastica in Northern Minnesota and her love for our home here in Westbrook Village. Tune in to hear Kjersten’s inspiring story and what makes our community feel like home for us both.
