Originally from Fargo, North Dakota, Ms. Huus came to Central Minnesota to study at the College of Saint Benedict and Saint John’s University, where she graduated in 2022 with degrees in Theology and Political Science.

Before joining Saint John’s Prep, she worked with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Minnesota in both Program Coordinator and Community Engagement Coordinator roles.

This work fueled her strong belief in the transformative power of mentorship.
She also serves as the Assistant Director of the Youth in Theology and Ministry (YTM) summer program, through Saint Johns’ School of Theology, where high school students explore leadership, theology, community, and faith in a vibrant and supportive environment.
At the Benedictine Center, Ms. Huus brings energy, compassion, and a genuine love for working with students. She is passionate about creating a space and opportunities that help young people grow into confident leaders rooted in service and community.
