Hello!  I am a southwest Nebraska native.  I live outside of Stratton, NE with my husband and 3 children but I am originally from Indianola, NE and a graduate of Republican Valley High School.  I attended Iowa Western Community College where I played volleyball and earned my Associate of Arts Degree.  I continued my education and volleyball career at Chadron State College earning my Bachelor's degree in Family and Consumer Sciences with an option in Human Services and my Master's degree in Community Counseling with an endorsement in School Counseling.  I enjoy spending time with my family as much as possible, we love the outdoors and making goat milk soap with goat's milk from our very own goats!! My husband runs a large cow/calf operation and puts up alfalfa in the summer.  I also really enjoy watching students grow into wonderful, respectful participants of our society!  I am always looking forward to a positive, fun-filled school year!
