Kimberly Miller (Kim)
I am the new business and technology instructor at OCS. My husband Cory works at JE Meuret Grain in Brunswick as an accountant. He has been there for 10 years. My children are daughters Riley, 11, and Shay, 6, and son Henry, 4. We currently live in Brunswick.
I have two bachelor’s degrees. The first is in business administration, which I earned at Midland Lutheran. My second bachelor’s degree is my education degree from Wayne State. I began my working life in Lincoln, managing a retail store, and was also an assistant branch manager and personal banker in northeast Nebraska before going back to school. My education career began at Verdigre Public School in 2015 and now continues at Osmond!
My hobbies include sports and outdoor life. I spend a lot of time taking my kids to where they need to be, so one could say I also have a hobby of driving!
The Osmond Community School District has been welcoming and wonderful to be a part of. I am excited to get to know the students and community; I am grateful to be here and cannot wait to make an impact!
