I am from Calgary, Alberta, Canada where I grew up raising cattle and alfalfa with my family. I attended Kansas State University where I earned my Bachelor of Science and Master of Agribusiness degrees. I worked as a Credit Analyst at Central National Bank from 2021 to 2023. Before that, I was a grant specialist at Kansas State University, assisting faculty members in the College of Agriculture to be successful at obtaining grant money for their meaningful research.
I live in Manhattan with my husband where we own a rental property. Community involvement and philanthropy are important to me. I served on both fundraising and philanthropy committees as part of my sorority in university and was very involved in leadership through the 4-H program growing up.
My hobbies involve being active, preferably outside through hiking, kayaking, and yoga. My husband and I enjoy attending sporting events and live music.
