Jodi Miller, Human Resources Manager

 Jodi Ahrendsen Miller recently returned home to the Manning area to continue her work with people, helping them grow as employees. Since leaving Manning many years ago she has lived in numerous places and held many different positions. Each of those positions included some type of “teaching” as she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education from the University of South Dakota and working with all types of people. Most recently she spent over 15 years in Sioux Falls, SD where she managed a very large, multi-site afterschool program as well as took care of many human resources duties for the program. These experiences led her to join LifeSkills Connection’s human resource department. She enjoys all the different areas of Human Resources since she is working with people and “teaching” them about their positions and providing professional development. Her three grown sons and daughter-in-law are still in Sioux Falls where they grew up. Jodi enjoys live music, football, spending time outdoors, reading and crafting.
