I was born and raised in Madison, WI and am the oldest of nine children.  I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from the University of Wisconsin – Madison. While in college, I spent a semester abroad at St. Mary’s University College, London, England.

I am an experienced administrative professional with over 5 years of experience in the corporate world. I’ve worked in a variety of fields including publishing, sales, survey research, accounting and retail, for businesses both large and small. I’m organized, efficient, responsible and reliable. I enjoy using my skills to help others succeed. Problem solving is a passion of mine. I value variety and continual learning in both my professional and personal life.

My husband and I still live near Madison, WI and are constantly inspired and challenged by our three wonderful children. Aside from family, books and music are my two great loves in life. I also enjoy photography, gardening, cooking, biking, walking, yoga, board games, knitting and crocheting.
