I am an Omaha native who owned and operated a successful printing business for nearly 30 years. I did not want to “retire” so I worked at the Lincoln Parks Foundation for 2 years before joining the staff of the Nebraska State Historical Society Foundation in the summer of 2017, where I served as the Director of Special Projects. While still working with NSHSF, I am ready to utilize my skills to help other non-profits.

I have four children and 10 grandchildren. I enjoy visiting family whenever I can. My hobbies include volunteering, traveling, gardening, reading, and knitting.

I serve on the Board of Directors of the Museum of Nebraska Art (MONA) in Kearney, and the Board of Advisors for Civic Nebraska. I also volunteers for Community Action/Head Start in Lincoln, Food Bank of Lincoln for the Clinton Food Market, Guerilla Gardeners and support numerable other community organizations.
