Biography

I am located in Stanton County in Nebraska and live in the northeast part of the state. While I have been in extension for many years, I have worked in disaster education including the twin tornadoes in Pilger over 5 years ago and the 2019 flooding event that affected a majority of Nebraska in 2019. I am a past state association president and currently serve on faculty senate committees and the Dean’s advisory board. I have had the privilege of working with a great Nebraska state disaster team and now we forge forward working for the citizens of Nebraska as we face this new COVID 19 event. I have a BS in Dietetics and Institutional Management from Kansas State University and hold a MS in Human Development from Nebraska University. I currently specialize in working with Nebraska Youth Development and 4-H, focusing in College and Career readiness and workforce development.
