Tell us a little about your position. – I assist with both the Sales and the Marketing teams at Lied Lodge and Arbor Day Farm. I coordinate and execute many of our marketing efforts, including print ads, e-blast efforts, our websites, and event calendars.
What has been your most important achievement professionally? – To date it’s been the increase in my duties at Lied Lodge. When I first started in 2011, I primarily assisted the sales team at Lied Lodge. In the last several years, I have expanded to also help our marketing team with advertising efforts for our entire 260-acre property which includes Lied Lodge, Arbor Day Farm, Tree Adventure, and Arbor Lodge State Historical Park.
Tell us a little about your family. – My husband Tyson and I have been happily married for six years. Tyson is the owner and operator of Bing’s Sports Bar located in downtown Nebraska City. We’ve been blessed with two children, our son Grayson (3) and daughter Sloane (1). It’s easy to say between raising two children and managing our business we stay extremely busy.
What is your favorite thing to do on a day off? – I’m a huge fan of naps. I try to take advantage of any quiet time that may come my way to rest and relax. As many of you know, this is few and far between with children.
If you could have a super power, what would it be? – My one super power would be the ability to be in two places at once. There never seems to be enough time in the day to get everything accomplished and it would help to balance work and home life.
What do you see as one of the biggest turning points in your life? – The births of my two children have been the biggest turning points in my life. I never imagined how in an instant all of my priorities in life could change.
If you could choose only one descriptive word to be remembered as, what would it be? – The one word I would choose to be remembered as is dedicated. I’m not only dedicated to family but also my friends and my job.
What is your favorite local restaurant? – Blue Sushi Saki Grill is by far my favorite restaurant in both Lincoln and Omaha. I enjoy everything from the Pink Grapefruit cocktail to the Cabo Roll.
What local non-profit organization(s) are you passionate about or involved with, and are there any special reasons why? – I am fortunate to be employed at my favorite non-profit: the Arbor Day Foundation, the world’s largest non-profit tree planting organization. Lied Lodge & Conference Center is a program of the Arbor Day Foundation, and everything we do falls in line with our mission: to inspire people to plant, nurture, and celebrate trees. Growing up in Nebraska City – the home of Arbor Day – it was instilled from an early age the importance of trees for current and future generations.
