Krista Roebke, BA, serves as Training Manager at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Center on Children, Families, and the Law. With 25 years in child welfare, her career began at Boys Town as an assistant family teacher working with adolescent girls. After serving as a social caseworker in Adams County, Colorado, for two years, she returned to Nebraska and spent eight years in child protection, advancing from caseworker to supervisor. 

In 2011, Ms. Roebke became a court liaison with a privatized case management organization before joining the Center on Children, Families, and the Law in 2012. There, she progressed from Training Specialist to Training Coordinator and now Training Manager. 

For the past 11 years, she has overseen statewide classroom and virtual training for Child and Family Services Specialists across Nebraska. Her responsibilities included aligning training with Department of Health and Human Services policies, managing training specialists and calendars, and delivering specialized training in assessment, interviewing, and legal matters. Ms. Roebke brings extensive expertise in child welfare policy, procedures, and training delivery to her role.
