Short Biography:

I was born in Herington, KS. When I was 4 years old my family moved to Stoughton, MA where I grew up on a Horse Stable nestled on a lake. My family moved back to Kansas when I was a Junior in High School. I married my husband (Michael) right out of High School and we are approaching our 40th Anniversary very soon! We have 5 grown children and 12 grandchildren. I have taken many classes through Butler Community College.

Brief Work History:

I have worked many places in various positions from Shipping Clerk in a medical device production plant, to Accountant at a CPA firm. In 1997 I started work at K-State as a Personnel Specialist in the department of Plant Pathology and have worked various positions in departments across campus since that time. Currently I am employed in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and feel very blessed to be in a wonderful department surrounded by such amazing and supportive people.

Personal Interests:

I have trained and shown Quarter and Paint Horses since I was 10 years old, a passion that I am fortunate to have my best friend (my husband) share with me today! I am a 1 year cancer survivor, so I like to take the opportunity to offer support whenever I can to others fighting this battle. We enjoy spending time with our grandchildren, and try to take time to travel to new places when we can.

Additional Comments:

I am honored and excited to represent the University Support Staff for the College of Engineering!
