Gunderson, Palmer, Nelson & Ashmore is excited to welcome Sandi Olsen to our team as our new Legal Administrator. Sandi has worked in the legal field for 28 years. She is originally from Montana, where she grew up on a farm homesteaded by her grandfather 25 miles north of Wolf Point. She attended Wolf Point High School then graduated from National College in Rapid City. After college, Sandi worked for a law firm in Billings, Montana, as a legal secretary/bookkeeper for eight years. She gained office manager experience at firms in Helena before moving to Rapid City in 2017.
When we asked Sandi what she likes most about being a Legal Administrator she responded, “I enjoy interacting with people, whether it be helping the great employees or clients of GPNA, or working out details with companies our firm does business with.” A typical day for Sandi can consist of many different tasks, as she is responsible for work related to employees, clients, software, accounting, and benefits.
Outside of work, Sandi enjoys spending time with her husband of 22 years, Scott, and their two children, Alexa, who is a junior nursing major at Carroll College, and son Riley, who is a freshman at South Dakota School of Mines & Technology majoring in civil engineering. Sandi enjoys being outside in the Black Hills hiking, biking, or riding horses with her family.
At Gunderson, Palmer, Nelson & Ashmore we are glad to have Sandi on our team!
