Nancy enjoys: computers, cooking, crocheting, music, and traveling. Her interest in cooking has led to several awards for recipes, and she has had some recipes published in cookbooks. She enjoys teaching others to crochet, and giving pointers on alternatives to those who crocheted prior to losing their sight.

Nancy has served on the board of the Senior Blind of the National Federation of the Blind. She is the former Second Vice-President on the state board of the National Federation of the Blind and Vice-President of the Grand Island Chapter of the National Federation of the Blind. She is also serving as Secretary of the Tabitha Society at her church.

Nancy is happy to be a member of the Board of Commissioners for NCBVI. She is looking forward to the opportunity to help blind people become more fully integrated into society and helping them to reach their goals of education, employment, and equal status with sighted people.
