Kara Kniep traces her decision to pursue a lifetime of work with nature back to what she calls “God moments” on her family’s farm near Deshler. She spent much of her childhood playing outdoors, walking the pastures and marveling about nature and its creator.
“Nature is amazing, and what I know is the creator of it is even more amazing,” the Chancellor’s Scholar recently said.
Set to graduate in December with a 4.0 grade point average and a fisheries and wildlife major, Kniep is seeking a position that allows her to continue exploring nature and her faith.
She gained relevant experience from managing habitat at Cedar Point Biological Station her freshman year and from a nine-month internship she finished a few weeks ago with the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission.
