She had worked as a staff assistant at Game and Parks in North Platte from 1993-2003, where she taught outdoor education to many school-aged youth in west-central Nebraska.
“Julie brings valuable skills and experience to our communications team,” said Christy Rasmussen, administrator for Game and Parks’ Information and Education Division. “Her passion is giving knowledge to others about the outdoors and showing others all the exciting experiences and fun the outdoors has to offer.”
