Mrs. Ysen recently relocated to Dubois from northern Minnesota where she was the executive director of the largest sexual violence program within the state of Minnesota (covering six counties). As part of previous experiences, Amanda is familiar with the unique challenges in rural and isolated communities like Dubois. Amanda holds a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice/forensic psychology and uses a combination of education and experiences to her position of business manager. Amanda and her husband, Chad, have seven kids and 11 grandchildren. In her time off work, Amanda enjoys photography, four-wheeling, camping, and spending time in the mountains.

Nancy Dixon is the A.D. secretary and central office administrative assistant. Nancy has been with FCSD2 for five years and began as the Dubois High School and A.D. secretary. When the HS addition to the existing K–8 building was completed in 2014, Nancy moved to the administration building to take on the role of accounts payable & payroll clerk while retaining her A.D. secretary role. Nancy has 14 years of experience in the banking industry and six years as the only dialysis support staff for the University of Missouri Healthcare System in Columbia, Missouri.

Originally from Central Missouri, Nancy has one daughter, Sammantha, who is working toward a degree in elementary special education at Wayland Baptist University in Plainview, TX. Nancy and Sammi moved to Dubois in August 2011.

Nancy enjoys spending time with family, her Siberian Husky, Kimon Kenai, and her cat, No Name-E. Her greatest joys are her daughter and the blessings she has received from God through the opportunities that have come because of moving to Dubois.

“I love my job. And what could be better than a job you love in the most beautiful place with the most amazing views?” – Nancy

“But those who wait for the Lord will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary; they will walk and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:31)
