I'm originally from Appleton and attended Fox Valley Lutheran High School.  I went on to get a bachelors degree from UW-Platteville and my Masters in Counseling Education from UW-Oshkosh. I live in Greenville with my husband and 3 amazing daughters.  I played volleyball and basketball both in high school and college and continue to stay active while training for half marathons and Tough Mudder competitions.  I love to read, craft, be outside, and laugh with my girls. If I'm not watching one of my daughter's sporting events, you will find me playing with our large and lazy Goldendoodle and our very energetic Labradoodle.
