Short Biography:

I grew up in Horton, Kansas, and I am a 4th generation K-Stater. Coming to K-State for college was always my plan, but I never thought I would return here as a faculty member. My father, Jim, is a veterinarian and my mother, Dixie, is a nurse. I have one sister, Jami, who is seven years younger. She and her husband, Scott, are both K-State graduates. My husband, Craig, and I live outside of Wamego.
