Staff Bio

Bridget Castaneda, Operations & Finance Associate

Bridget started with PeaceMaker Minnesota as a volunteer – a role she held for 6 years. She was interested in the organization because she thinks parents worry about school environments a lot more than they should have to. The more she learned, the more she saw the difference the right services and support can make for a school environment.

With a professional background in accounting, she is excited to now hold a part-time position with responsibilities in finance, programs/services, and communications.

Bridget holds a bachelor’s degree in international business from Concordia College – Moorhead. During college, she studied in Mexico City where she met Javier, who later became her husband. They have 3 kids – 7, 4, and 1.5 and – yes – they are bilingual! She enjoys baking and whenever she feels stressed, you’re likely to find her in the kitchen.
