I graduated from the University of Nebraska - Lincoln with a degree in Human Resources with an emphasis in early childhood. After graduation, I worked as an executive director of a prestige preschool for many years. I was able to wear many hats including recruiting, talent development, benefits, finance, marketing, licensing and curriculum development. Along the way, I began to really enjoy the aspect of developing people and building a culture where people wanted to work and enjoyed their careers. A few years ago, I switched careers and went into more of an HR/Benefits role. I began diving more into benefits and working with a broker to find what works best for the company and coaching our people on what we have to offer, help with full cycle recruiting, encourage people development and help guide the wellness committees. I enjoy listening to team members and encouraging them to try new things to help them achieve their personal goals.
