Bio:
I was fortunate enough to move to Jasper County to start my 6thgrade school year at Muddy Jr High. I then went on to graduate from Newton Community High School. After high school I went to Nursing school at Olney Central College and received my Associate’s in Applied Science which allowed me to become a Registered Nurse. I worked at St. Anthony’s Memorial Hospital for 11 years, and have now been at the Jasper County Health Dept for 10 years. More recently in April of 2020, I completed my Bachelor’s in Nursing degree through Western Governors University. I am honored to serve my community through various volunteer positions. I am currently a proud Shriner’s wife, and a member of our local Newton Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star. I sit as Secretary on the Jasper County E911 board. Also, in a School Board related position, I am the current Director of the Wabash Valley Division, sitting on the IASB (Illinois Association of School Boards) board of directors.

I have been with my husband Gary Rieman for 18 years, who was born and raised here in Jasper County. He graduated from Newton Community High School and then graduated from Lakeland College with an Associate’s degree in Ag Mechanics, and he is currently the Service Manager at MTS (Midwest Tractor Sales) here in Newton. He is the current President of the Jasper County Shrine Club, member of the Ainad Shrine temple, member of the Newton Masonic Lodge, and member of the Newton Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star. We have been blessed with a daughter, Paige, who is currently a student here at Jasper County Jr High School.

Why:
I decided a long time ago, as my daughter was just beginning her career as a student, that I would do everything in my power to help her succeed and achieve her dreams. But she should not be the only one, I feel that every student should be given that same opportunity to flourish. So, I chose to run for the school board to help in making that a reality for my daughter and all other students as well. Being on the school board allows me to be a part of the team that: strives to assist our administration & teachers to meet & exceed academic standards with their students, works diligently to be fiscally responsible with tax payer & grant monies, evaluates & acts on needed repairs and/or upgrades required to maintain sound facilities, and creates a safe environment for our children to soar. One can not make a difference if they are not willing to jump in and do the work. I am blessed to be able to put in that work for our Jasper County School District.
