Before joining the Minnesota Star Tribune, Lundegaard was a reporter for the Wall Street Journal in Detroit and Atlanta. She started her career with American City Business Journals papers in Cincinnati and then Washington DC. She holds a masters in journalism from Northwestern University and is a graduate of Macalester College. She and her husband are, in theory, empty nesters at their south Minneapolis home. She loves playing both tennis and pickleball, so don't make her choose.
