Accomplishments
With two little ones—ages three and one—every day feels like a major accomplishment! I’m incredibly grateful for my amazing husband, who meets the chaos of parenting with patience and humor. The transition to being a working mom has been one of the most rewarding challenges of my life. I’m thankful every day for the opportunity to contribute to a fantastic team at Mid-States while also supporting and providing for my family.
Off the Clock
I have 11 nieces and nephews, so most of my time off the clock is joyfully spent with family. I’ve recently entered my “crafty mom era” and love putting together fun little projects for school events and cousin get-togethers. At home, I’m kept company by our sweet golden retriever, Orla, who’s always up for a cuddle or a never-ending game of fetch.
Secret Life
Growing up, I was a competitive Scottish Highland dancer. My dad played the bagpipes, and we performed around town in what we called “The Bob and Hannah Show.”

Accomplishments
I am so proud of my three children and who they have become. They each have their own passions and interests and are such kind, thoughtful human beings. They have done an excellent job of navigating this crazy world we live in, and I am excited to see the adventure that they will take me on as I watch them grow up and explore the different phases of their life.
Extracurricular
I really enjoy crafting/building all things. Depending on the weather will determine the type of thing I would be working on. I will not shy away from picking up a good book and LOVE watching the Kansas City Chiefs during football season.
Off the Clock
My two youngest children are baseball and softball players so often you will find me at a field in my free time. I really enjoy being outside. I look forward to the day that I can take an impromptu nap on the back deck while lounging under the sun.

Accomplishments
As I approach my third year with Mid-States in August 2025, I’ve had the opportunity to grow within the HR department and take on a variety of meaningful responsibilities. From onboarding and benefits support to event planning and employee engagement, I take pride in being a go-to resource for our team. I’m especially grateful to be part of a workplace that values people, teamwork, and continuous improvement.
Off the Clock
When I’m not at work, I’m usually busy renovating my home or spending quality time with my husband, friends, and family. I’m passionate about cars—you’ll often find me at racing events and car shows. I currently drive a Ford Focus ST that I had wrapped in a bold, eye-catching pattern that always turns heads and sparks conversation. If you didn’t already know, purple is my favorite color—so of course, it plays a big role in the design. Whether I’m detailing the car, planning the next show, or just out cruising, it’s a big part of who I am. My husband plays in a band, so I also love supporting his shows and catching local live music whenever I can. From racetracks to music venues, I’m always chasing the things that bring energy, excitement, and joy to life.
Secret Life
In 2013, I was featured on ESPN for my go-kart racing at Sugar River Raceway—where Danica Patrick also began her racing career. Her success helped pave the way for female drivers like me, making the feature a proud milestone in my journey.
In the summer of 2014, I transitioned to dirt oval racing and continued competing through 2016. As of 2022, my purple #99 Mustang-themed go-kart—modeled after Dick Trickle’s design and proudly displaying my maiden name, Jena Peschang—is on display at the Historical Auto Attractions Museum in Roscoe, Illinois. It remains a lasting symbol of my passion, grit, and dedication to the sport. One day, I hope to return to racing, as it’s a passion that will always be part of who I am.

Accomplishments
At Mid-States, I’ve had the opportunity to support backend HR processes during the acquisition of ICP and have worked in some capacity at all four locations. Before joining Mid-States full-time, I completed five HR internships, including one in Dallas, TX, in a corporate HR setting. Packing up and moving to the “Big D” for three months at 20-years-old will always be one of my coolest career accomplishments. But my greatest so far has been the chance to work alongside my mentor, Hannah Martensen, and grow under her leadership.
Extracurricular
In college, I served as president of our on-campus SHRM chapter and was involved in Delight and InterVarsity. I stay active in my church community, which continues to bring me a lot of fulfillment outside of work.
Off the Clock
Off the clock, I love to read and own over 200 books, with many more to come! I enjoy playing my Xbox a bit more than I’d like to admit. I drink more coffee than water. I love quality-time with my incredible family, who we call our little “circle of 5.” My favorite way to spend my mornings is doing a devotional outside with my amazing boyfriend, Quintin.
Secret Life
I have wasted 43 days of my life playing Dead by Daylight since I installed it in 2020. I am a die-hard survivor main.

Accomplishments
I am very proud of the team for maintaining our SHARP certification through OSHA for the last eight years. We are one team. We all work together and look out for each other to ensure we all go home safely every day!
Extracurricular
I volunteer for Meals on Wheels and the YWCA.
Off the Clock
I enjoy relaxing in my backyard, taking my dogs for a run, and spending time with my family and friends. I love seeing my three grandkids and all of the great-nieces and nephews.

Accomplishments
I have been with Mid-States for about a year and a half now. Started as an intern and eventually was hired full time. I wrote and trained on our confined space rescue procedure which was a big learning experience for me as I have not worked on a project that required so many outside professionals to consult on.
Extracurricular
I attend the career fairs at UW-Whitewater to help find potential intern candidates.
Off the Clock
Off the clock you can find me at a golf course, at a brewery, or hanging with family and friends. My teams are the Chicago Blackhawks, Green Bay Packers, Milwaukee Brewers, and the Milwaukee Bucks.
