My name is Jackie Rotert. My family and I have lived in Garretson for 6 years. I have been married to my husband Joey for 17 years and we have 2 daughters and a 3year old cockapoo dog named Bruce. Our oldest daughter Maci is a freshman and our youngest daughter Haylee is a 5th grader. They keep us busy with volleyball, basketball, golf, softball, soccer, and church activities. I graduated from Southeast technical Institute with an associate’s degree in Nuclear Medicine and immediately started my career at Sioux Valley (Sanford) Hospital. I worked as a Nuclear medicine technologist/ leadership for 18 years and last June I transitioned out of patient care and leadership and took a role back at Sanford in the clinical informatics department. I am currently on the Learning board for Zion Lutheran Church, President of the Garretson JO Volleyball Club, and have volunteer coached different ages of girls volleyball and softball. My family and I enjoy golfing, hunting, movies, taking vacations to the Black Hills, and side by side ranger riding.
