I was born and raised in Plattsmouth, the middle kid of two incredible parents, Mike and Barb. My childhood was shaped by youth sports, camping trips, classic Nintendo, and a solid Catholic education—18 years of it, to be exact, spanning St. John the Baptist in Plattsmouth, Gross Catholic High School in Omaha, and finally Creighton University, where I graduated with a BA in Graphic Design in 2004.

In 2009, I welcomed my daughter, Helen, into the world. Being her mother has been my fiercest challenge and my greatest gift. Today, we live just four blocks away from the very house I grew up in. When I'm not on the campaign trail, you can find us doing crafts together, playing board games, doing puzzles, or traveling to our family’s cabin up in the beautiful Nebraska Sandhills. (I’m also a frequent blood donor and the reigning 2025 Cass County Fair Salsa Champion!)

I’ve also proudly served as a school lunch lady on and off since 2015. Feeding our kids healthy meals has been an honor, and the school nutrition professionals I've worked with are some of the finest people I know.

Executive public-record methodology
An executive record will attach only from official orders, directives, vetoes, signed actions, legal filings, or direct official statements that explicitly attribute the action to this person. Agency outcomes and events during an administration are not inferred as personal actions.
Official filings may be amended after publication.
The official Nebraska campaign-statement search is linked. Its online display is based on paper filings and may not expose a current financial statement for every candidate. No amount attaches until one exact committee identity, compatible office and cycle, report period, and amendment state are captured. Missing values are not zero.
Claims that did not clear the publication standard remain visibly excluded.
Reason: NO_STABLE_ELIGIBLE_PUBLIC_RECORD_IDENTITY_ATTACHED
Names and candidate-stated prior service alone never attach another person's records. This does not establish that the candidate has never held public office.
Every profile claim points back to retained source evidence.
