The past decade of my career was spent in human services nonprofit organizations, and most recently I was executive director of an organization that welcomed new immigrants to central Nebraska.
I have served on local boards of directors, and am president for the Grand Island Public Schools Foundation. Also, I’m a graduate of the TEAM: Building Culture, Leadership Tomorrow, and Nonprofit Excellence Institute, as well as certified in Technology of Participation facilitation methods. I received my bachelor’s degree from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and master’s degree from the University of Oklahoma.
Currently, I am the chief operating officer for Innate Concepts in Grand Island, Nebraska. I have extraordinary pride in being a native Nebraskan as well as being “unapologetically rural” like the Center.
Being both a Granary Foundation Board member and an Advisory Committee member means I have the opportunity to engage in conversation with other diverse rural Nebraskans with similar interests.
