DEBBIE BRUNN, BOARD CHAIR
Debbie brings her administrative and planning skills from her experience as an operations manager at a local company, as well as a passion for teens in the foster care system, to help Foster the Love MN continue to thrive as a company and serve the foster community.
Her passion for kids in foster care was ignited at a young age from her times playing with kids in orphanages while growing up in Cuenca, Ecuador and culminated to her and her husband adopting their son from the Minnesota foster care system in 2018.
When not working Debbie can be found watching and occasionally playing fortnite with her son, going to local breweries or new restaurants with her husband, or taking her dog for walks.
