Water crises are a frequent headline, which is why I take immense pride in my role. Ensuring my city has clean, safe, and delicious drinking water is crucial, as is safeguarding our water source for the future. I cherish the privilege of having reliable well water and strive never to take it for granted.Interacting with our customers, many of whom are friends and neighbors, is a joy. I find fulfillment in addressing their inquiries, assisting with leaks, and managing meter changes.The excitement of late-night water leaks fuels my passion for teamwork. Coming together to swiftly resolve issues and restore service is incredibly rewarding.Beyond my profession, I'm an artist and poet involved with the Nappanee Art Council. Showcasing our city's creativity at the Art Center brings me joy. We offer diverse art opportunities, including tailored programs for homeschoolers and those with special needs. Lately, I've been drawn to junk sculpture, with several pieces scattered throughout Nappanee. Our Art Path, boasting over 100 sculptures, stands as a testament to our community's artistic spirit.
