I grew up in the small town of Platte Center, NE. My husband, Jon, and I met while attending Kearney State College and have lived in Kearney since. We have three children, three grandchildren, and three grand dogs. Previously I worked at UNK for twelve years as an Office Associate and Career Event organizer. Prior to that I was an Event Coordinator at the Kearney Ramada Inn. I’m excited to join the First Lutheran Church team to utilize my talents in a way that serves others. In my free time, I enjoy gardening, planting flowers, camping, and doing crafts.
