Aubrey Crooks is a proud graduate of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln and a board member with the Great Plains Gaming Project, a Nebraska nonprofit that promotes community and education through board gaming. 

Aubrey grew up with a large family that connected around the table over games and has seen firsthand how play strengthens not only social bonds but also learning outcomes, encouraging curiosity, communication, and critical thinking. Now, she uses that passion for tabletop gaming to spark connection, creativity, and curiosity throughout the community.
