About Me

“I enjoy watching students grow and develop skills over the three years they spend with us. It seems like such a short amount of time, but the amount of change that you see with them interpersonally as well as professionally is huge. I just love to watch that process.”
Ohmstede of Guide Rock, NE graduated from UNK with a bachelor’s degree in social work in 2001. She then earned her education specialist degree in school psychology from UNK.

“Kearney became my home. I’m not from Kearney, but over the course of all of my education, Kearney became home to me and I wanted to move back and raise my kids here.”
Ohmstede specializes problem solving consultation in diverse settings, early childhood assessment and intervention, data-based decision making and behavioral parent training.
