A 2004 graduate of Garfield-Palouse High School, the bride-elect received a bachelor’s degree in 2008 from Central Washington University.

She majored in political science and law and justice with a minor in sociology.

After an October wedding at Moscow, the couple will make their home in the Prescott area where he works for John Grant and Son farms, and she plans to work in the local schools.

Genna is the granddaughter of George and Joyce Strong of Potlatch, and Michael is the grandson of Nancy and the late Marvin Nickerson of Idaho Falls.
