House Manager/ Executive Director of The World Theatre
Working to bring quality movies and live entertainment to the good citizens of Kearney and the surrounding area.  

As the Executive Director of The Archway Museum in Kearney, Nebraska. I oversee daily operations, community partnerships, and new projects that help The Archway continue to grow.

I have a passion for tourism and history, and I enjoy finding new ways to improve the visitor experience while preserving the history and unique story The Archway has to share.

I take pride in working with my team, building relationships within the community, and creating opportunities that make The Archway a must-see destination in Nebraska. The Archway is more than just a museum. It’s a place where history comes to life, and visitors can experience the journey that helped build America.
