This Thanksgiving season, we want to say thank you for allowing us to be part of your community. Call, text, or visit our Crete State Farm office whenever we can help.

I was born and raised in Seward, NE, where I learned the value of small, tight‐knit communities. After graduating from Seward High School, I played four years of college basketball at Doane College in Crete, earning my Bachelor of Arts degree in 1995. The friendships I built with students, professors, coaches, and people in the community are relationships I still value today. I began working for State Farm in 1998, and I quickly realized that what motivates me most is building long‐term relationships and helping others protect what matters to them. That same year, I met and married my husband, Patrick, a Dorchester, NE native. We have three children and one daughter‐in‐law: Kelly and his wife Marlie, Grace, and Jack, who keep us busy and grounded.

With nearly 30 years of experience across customer service, claims, reinspection and quality, and training with State Farm, I bring both practical knowledge and personal care to every conversation. Our office is proudly located in Crete, Nebraska, and we serve Crete, Dorchester, DeWitt, Wilber, Clatonia, Wilber, Exeter, Milligan, Friend, and surrounding communities.

From auto insurance and homeowners insurance to life, health, renters, farm, personal articles, and small business insurance, as well as banking options like checking, savings, CDs, loans, and credit cards, my goal is to help individuals, families, and businesses feel confident about what they’re preparing for next. I’d love the opportunity to connect and review how your coverage is supporting your life today!
