I am excited to join LCC as I feel a great sense of community and belonging here! The school does a great job making sure that students are receiving a valuable education and positive experiences outside of the classroom, too!

I am so excited to get to know the community! I grew up in a similar-sized community, so it feels familiar while still being new! I graduated from WSC in May 2026 and am starting my Masters program soon. I have also worked in libraries in both Yankton and Wayne.

This truly feels like a full-circle moment for me! LCC is where I first developed my passion for athletics, health and wellness, and now I have the opportunity to return and help student athletes discover that same passion and become the strongest versions of themselves!

I am originally from Scribner, NE and was drawn to this community through family. I graduated from UNL with a degree in Ag Leadership, Education, and Communication. I've always seemed to find my way to LCC. So it feels like home to me.

I was drawn to the LCC School because I love the farming community and raised my children in nearby Hartington. I LOVE books! Aside from thrifting and my side business, I stay busy caring for my pets - 2 horses, 1 mini donkey, 9 barn cats, 2 dogs (and next year chickens!).
