Why did you join the Junior League? To meet people, and it worked! Some of my best friends and favorite people I met though the league.
Tell us about your family? I married my high school sweetheart, Nick Thielen, in September of 2008. He went to Colgate University in Upstate NY and Law school at University of Nebraska. He is an attorney at Kutak Rock and also very interested and involved in the Omaha Community. We have a goldendoodle named Chloe that we got from the humane society the night of his first law school final exam. We just had a baby, Miss Audrey who is absolutely incredible and the love of our lives. She was born Nov 21st 2014.
Pets: Chole – Goldendoodle and baby #1 of the family 
Hometown: All over – I was adopted in Ohio, moved over seas to Germany, Spain, and England. Then back to the US to Michigan, then Nebraska, Boston and back to Nebraska.
College: I went to Boston University and LOVED IT
Job/Business: I work for Nebraska Children and Families Foundation as the Assistant Vice President of Strategic Partnerships. My job is to cultivate donors and community engagement for NCFF.
