I am a native Nebraskan growing up on a dairy and row crop farm by North Bend with 4 brothers and 1 sister. I had a lot of responsibility placed on me helping with my younger siblings and helping mom and dad on the farm. Agriculture has always been an important part of my life. I believe we must continue to advocate for the future of food, fiber, and natural resources by telling the story of food and fiber production as well as natural resources conservation to our most important client, the consumer.
I married my wonderful husband after graduating from college. We have two fun-loving children (now young adults) who grew up way too fast! Our daughter is married and currently teaching elementary school in central Nebraska and our son is working for a crop protection company in Nebraska. We have been blessed with grandchildren who keep us young. We live on an acreage with our springer spaniel, who keeps the rabbits out of my garden. Our cat plays an important role on the team as rodent control manager. My favorite hobby is gardening. I also like watching sports, mainly high school and college (go Huskers!) although I can be found at a t-ball game once in awhile! Relaxing on the deck or by the fire pit are also favorite places where I can be found when I'm not at school or with FFA members.
