I grew up in a bitty town in northern Indiana. Seriously, google still can't give directions to my town of 200! My parents taught me to value family, loyalty, and hard work. College brought me to Kansas and I have resided in Ellis for the past ten years. During college, I was head of a preschool gymnastics program. I have spent thousands of hours coaching gymnastics and soccer for children preschool through junior high. Upon college graduation, I worked at KVC Behavioral Healthcare in Hays. Children in hospital and residential treatment struggled with severe behavior issues, developmental disorders, anxiety, depression, etc. I was blessed to be a part of the healing journey of hundreds of children over the course of 3 years. From 2013 through 2018, I was the Children's Librarian at Hays Public Library. I provided activities and story times for infants through 11 year olds. I managed a collection of thousands of items and supervised up to eleven staff at once. I am the mother of three adventurous, persistent, and incredible little humans! I attend the Catholic Church. I like to drive my motorcycle, spend time outdoors, and eat popsicles.
