I was born and raised in Lincoln Nebraska with a deep love for people, technology, and the environment. I partially grew up on a farm to the Southeast of Lincoln that helped foster my love for agriculture and the environment. My family was blessed to always be on the cutting edge of technology, and I remember vividly when we got our first PC in the early 90's. Ever since, I have embraced technology and see how much benefit it can provide to our communities and the world. I graduated from the University of Nebraska with a Bachelor of Science and along the way developed many skills in research and analysis. Early on I had the privilege to be a member of the Student Council and attend multiple leadership camps over the four years I was a member. This helped me develop my skills to work as a team in a professional and productive manner. I also attribute my teamwork skills to my participation in organized sports. I grew up playing football, basketball, soccer, and track. It was here where I obtained an understanding of how beneficial long-term goals and planning are. I have truly worked with people from all walks of life throughout my educational and professional career. I believe this helps me stand out as a candidate because I have a good understanding of multiple viewpoints. I want to be a member of the Staff Senate to make a positive impact for the University of Nebraska, our communities, and future generations. I also believe wholeheartedly that we must plan accordingly for our future generations to have the same opportunities generations before them had. This is of utmost importance for the wellbeing of our children and communities across the state. If elected to Staff Senate this will take precedence for me when implementing strategic planning. The children are our future and will shape our communities whether we like it or not, so it is up to current leadership to help foster this understanding to create healthy and productive members for our university and communities. Go Big Red!
