Contact Me

I have been with the Nebraska Department of Education for over 27 years, working in the School Finance area before moving to application development and data validation and reporting. I am now fortunate to have the opportunity to lead the Data Management and Application Development team, whose primary focus is to meet the needs of our customers through secure and functional data gathering, storage, and dissemination. We focus on quality data, practical applications, and robust database architecture and reporting, while working to incorporate the latest technologies and industry best practices.
