Meet our SEE Trainers

Nedra began her 29 year career with Texas Tech University in September of 1992 in the Payroll office of Human Resources.  She became the Federal Work Study Coordinator in 1998 in the Student Financial Aid Office.  In 2005 she attended SEE training and joined both NSEA and the SASEA.  Having a beginning background in Financial Aid and Student Employment, SEE training answered a lot of her open questions. 

She has remained active in both organizations, first serving on the SASEA board as Vice President, then President-Elect, President and Past – President, in 2016 she was asked to step back on the board in the position of President then served in 2017 as Past-President and then stepped back in as President in 2018 and now serves as Past-President again.  During her first Presidential year she also began serving as a Director on the National Board.  The following year she was elected to serve as the VP of Administration.  Her next steps on the NSEA Board were President – Elect and then in 2013 the National President.  In addition, she co-presented in 2012 with Lynn Hoehn at the SASEA conference and then at the National Association of Student Employment Services (NASES) conference in Manchester, England.  She also served as the Scholarship Chair and also on the Ad hoc committee for the hiring of a new NSEA office manager twice.  In 2014, she attended Train-the-Trainer and became a regional trainer and then a few years later became a National Trainer.  She is currently serving as the SEE Training Coordinator on the SASEA board, and a National Trainer for NSEA.

“Both associations mean so very much to me and I will go above and beyond to do whatever is needed to keep them as successful as possible.”

On a personal note, she has been married to the love of her life for almost 34 years.  They have 3 wonderful children that are all adults and keep her and her husband hopping.
