My career began as an early childhood educator, and later, I transitioned to teaching 11th and 12th graders in high school. After my time in the classroom, I moved into the nonprofit sector, where I became a mentoring advocate and expert. I also gained experience serving on several nonprofit boards, including two that are especially meaningful to me. As a survivor of domestic violence, I serve as the Vice President of the Nebraska Coalition Against Sexual and Domestic Violence and co-founded the nonprofit Mom Power Inc.

In 2021, I transitioned into the government sector, serving as the Chief Diversity Officer for the largest county in Nebraska. In this role, I developed initiatives focused on workforce development and culture building. Throughout my various roles, I've had the honor of supporting organizations from grassroots groups to national corporations, helping them curate stronger, more cohesive teams by emphasizing the importance of building transformation through culture.
