Summary

I am a graduate of UWSP, both Marshfield and Stevens Point, with bachelor's degrees in communications-public relations and art. I served 20 years as the director of the After School Care and Summer Camp programs with Marshfield Catholic Schools. I have worked 18 years with United Way's Home Delivered Meals Program, nine years as the program director. This program provides meals to elderly and disabled individuals allowing them to live independently. During the pandemic as part of HDM, I started the Silver Sparks donation drive which provide special gift bags for the meal recipients during Christmas. The success of this program allowed gifts to also be supplied to Marshfield Respite, DeVita Dialysis, and others. Outside of work, for the past four decades, I've acted in 45 productions at UWSP-Marshfield.
