Shea Olson serves as the Twin Cities FertilityCare office manager. She has been practicing NFP with the Creighton Model since her husband and she learned it during their engagement in 2011.

In her few minutes of spare time, Shea enjoys drinking a lot of coffee, dreaming about the next time she’ll be by the ocean, and watching her children laugh with one another.
