WoMen’s Rural Advocacy Programs
(WRAP)
Join us for a meaningful Women’s Connect event focused on domestic violence awareness and prevention. The presentation will provide an overview of WRAP, share important statistics, address common domestic violence myths and facts, and highlight Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Meet our Speakers:

Brooklyn S.
Administrative Director for WoMen’s Rural Advocacy Programs, Inc.
I grew up in the rural southwest Minnesota area and graduated from Southwest Minnesota State University with degrees in Business Management and Psychology. I have been with WRAP since 2021 and Administrative Director since 2023. I currently reside on a local farm where we have two dogs and 18 chickens. I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and animals.

Emmalee R.
Lincoln/Lyon County Advocate for WoMen’s Rural Advocacy Programs, Inc.
I grew up on a farm in the southwest MN area, and I graduated from Lake Area Tech in Watertown, SD, in 2015. I have been working with WRAP for the past 3 years as the Lyon and Lincoln County advocate. I currently live in Tracy, MN, with my 2 dogs. I enjoy spending time with my family, camping, fishing, and farming.
Julie K.
Advocacy Lead Director for WoMen’s Rural Advocacy Programs, Inc.
I have been with WRAP since 2018. I started as the Yellow Medicine County advocate, then shifted into the Lincoln/Lyon County advocate role. In March 2023, I transitioned to my current role as Advocacy Lead Director. I am a lifelong member of the community and a proud mother of three grown children and grandmother to one grandson. I live on an acreage, where I enjoy spending time with my donkeys—each with a big personality. I truly treasure every moment spent with my family, working together and embracing all that life has to offer.
Sarah K
Administrative Coordinator for WoMen’s Rural Advocacy Programs, Inc.
I joined WRAP in July 2026 as the Administrative Coordinator, bringing experience in administrative support and small business ownership. I live on a hobby farm near Marshall with my husband, Dru, and our family, along with our three dogs. Outside of work, I enjoy camping, side-by-side rides, cheering on our kids at their activities, and spending time with family and friends. I also enjoy being creative through my small business, K&K Collective Co., where I make custom apparel and laser-crafted items. I’m excited to be part of the WRAP team and help support the meaningful work we do in our local communities.
