Debora Lance grew up in Northeast Minneapolis before it was the “cool neighborhood”. She drank Greenies at Jaros’s and Grain Belt beer, ate sausage from Kramarczuk’s, and danced in the Blue Room at Mayslacks.

She’s now an extraordinary Account Director at Wahlstrom. Here’s a few things you might not know about Debora:
