Being from a large city, I love the fact that people actually know each other and help each other in rural places. Rural America has so much potential, and when people come together, it can really blossom.

In my role with the Center, I help take care of entrepreneurs in the northeast corner of Nebraska. My many years in the banking industry, as well as experience with commercial and personal insurance, has been a great help with the work I do involving the Center’s technical assistance and loan program.

When I am not working, my husband and I stay active attending our three children's events – tennis matches, volleyball games, and soccer games. We also stay busy with church, and enjoy free time on our patio watching our three dogs play.
