Inspired by her older sister, she joined the ‘Irishettes’ her freshman year and has been passionate about the building and enhancing our team ever since — leading her full circle as a coach. Emma graduated from the University of Minnesota Duluth in 2022 with a Liberal Arts degree. She works in marketing for a property management company and lives in the south metro. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, hanging out with her fur babies (Teddy, Remy and Vienna), and traveling whenever she can. She’s thrilled to continue sharing her love for dance and start her second year coaching at Rosemount.

While dancing in the studio, Linnea was also a 4 year varsity member and 2 year captain of the Lakeville South Cougar Dance Team. During her time on the team, she earned three All-Conference honors and represented Lakeville South as an All-State Jazz dancer for three consecutive years.

Outside of dance, Linnea attended the University of Minnesota, where she earned a degree in Psychology and a minor in Human Resources Management. She enjoys spending time outdoors, traveling, and trying new restaurants with friends and family.
