Personal Summary

Logan's upbringing on a ranch in St. Ignatius, Montana, and her participation in extracurricular activities at a small high school, including the state-wide Youth Legislature program in Helena, MT, instilled in her a deep-rooted passion for democracy and politics. This program, designed to provide a hands-on perspective on democracy, sparked her initial interest in bridging the gap between diverse viewpoints and valuing the principles of democracy.  

Inspired by a professor during her undergraduate studies, Logan's career path began as a photographer. She worked as a photojournalist, and then her entrepreneurial spirit inspired her to open a photography business serving clients throughout Western Montana.  

Logan's dedication to community service led her to volunteer for various causes, including arts, education, and athletics. Her commitment and skills eventually earned her a role at the University of Montana's spectrUM Discovery Area, where she served as the development and community engagement officer. During this time, she pursued her MBA from UM’s College of Business. At spectrUM, she dedicated her time to fundraising, community, business, and board relationships, event management, and promotion. 

Logan enjoys hiking and working out at the gym with her friends, reading memoirs, business books, and books chosen by her book club, and adventuring and traveling with her husband and two teenagers.
