Emily Elsea is originally from Columbia, MO (MIZ-ZOU!) and has made her way to Decatur, Illinois because of Millikin University. She is a senior vocal music education major and is excited to have the opportunity to be in the nursery, as well. Emily is newly engaged to Isaac Cothern. If she is not doing homework or teaching voice lessons at Decatur House of Prayer, you will find her volunteering at the Children’s Museum of Illinois.
Abigail Smith is a Decatur native and currently a senior vocal music education major at Millikin University. She has been on the nursery staff since March of 2021. At Millikin you can find her singing in University Choir, as the president of the Alliance for Active Music Making, as a Big Blue Ambassador, and a member of Sigma Alpha Iota. Her favorite part of serving in the nursery is watching each child grow and learn new things.
Hi, I’m Kattina Williams. I’m one of the nursery attendants and I also work at the Decatur Family YMCA as the swim coordinator and a Red Cross lifeguard. I also work main concessions at Macon Speedway. I was a political science major and sociology minor at Western Illinois University. I want to go back and become an avian veterinarian. I have always loved taking care of children. I love to watch them grow and learn.
