***********************

I have served as the PTA Caucus and PTA Council Representative for the past six years. My first House of Delegates experience was the 2020 virtual session—one I remember watching from my patio. Since then, my involvement has continued to grow, and I’ve appreciated the opportunity to represent and advocate for PTAs at both the state and national levels.
Being a PTA in Nebraska has been an incredibly positive experience. APTA Nebraska and its members have consistently supported the role of the PTA in both clinical practice and within the association.
On April 10th, I was honored to be elected as the first PTA voting delegate in the state of Nebraska. I entered the physical therapy profession because I love working with people, and I became involved in the APTA because I truly love the profession and want to help it continue to grow and evolve.
