Why UNO
I was a Maverick twice in my educational experience, and I always enjoyed going to school here. In addition to being an alum, I am proud to be a part of a community that sees our role to helping prepare students for the workforce and educating all learners! UNO has taken a lot of steps to be an inclusive campus and make the campus a great experience for all individuals.
Interests and Hobbies
In my free time, my husband and I enjoy home improvement projects, chasing our 2 kids around, and sitting outside on my deck watching some type of sporting event.
