Katrina Nelson
Insurance Agent
Katrina Nelson has been deeply rooted in her family’s farming operation for over 35 years, still actively participating in its daily operations. Her strong work ethic and commitment to service naturally led her to the insurance industry, where she has been helping individuals and families protect what matters most since 2004. She began her career by obtaining licenses in health, life, accident, sickness, and annuities. A few years later, she expanded her expertise to include auto, homeowners, and business insurance. Katrina takes great pride in delivering exceptional customer service and guiding clients through their insurance options to ensure they have the coverage they need.
Family is at the heart of Katrina’s life. She and her late husband raised three boys who are now grown, and she is now a proud grandmother to three wonderful granddaughters whom she loves to spoil. She is also an active volunteer and member of her local church, and frequently volunteers at community events. When she’s not assisting clients or giving back to her community, Katrina enjoys working outdoors and staying involved in the daily farm operations, which her youngest son now manages. She also has a passion for drag racing and is a shareholder at the Kearney Raceway NHRA Track. As part of her son’s pit crew, she spends weekends at the track, enjoying the thrill of the sport and catching up with her extended racing family.
With her wealth of experience and dedication to her clients, Katrina is committed to making the insurance process simple and stress-free for those she serves.
