Q.  What is the best thing about living in your community?


A. The best thing about living in McCook is the friendliness of community members. I also think the storms in McCook are pretty amazing to watch (although my dog doesn't like it as much). 


Q. What would you tell someone who is thinking about returning to McCook/SW NE? 


A. I really didn't plan to move back here after my internship, but with how expensive the Pacific Northwest has become the lower cost of living was attractive.


Q. What excites you when you think about the future of your community?


A. I think McCook is starting to get ahead with the new amenities it is offering, such as the pool and the upcoming remodel of the YMCA. 


Q. What drew you to be part of MCFF?


A. The MCFF is important because it provides financial and consulting resources to the community to help make McCook a better place to live.


Q. What do you hope happens by building MCFF's unrestricted endowment)?


A. I think there is a lot of good projects going on in McCook currently. I also think that the collaboration in the community between different entities is becoming stronger.

I hope in my time with MCFF, I can grow McCook Connects and connect people who are new to the community.
