I am from rural Caroline, Wisconsin. Not many people have heard of it or know where that is, so please let me know if you are one of the few! I came to Stevens Point, Wisconsin to study at the university and become an educator, but later realized that I was really a mathematician and a problem solver. (Although, I believe we are all educators in some way, and this foundation has served me well in my life.)My job is to gather, interpret, and present information in such a way that management and sales can clearly understand their business and make well informed decisions. I am a creative, data junkie and an efficiency addict - relentlessly looking for a better way. It’s simply how I am wired.I am fiercely dedicated to my people - all of them. I truly enjoy helping others. It warms me to my core to know I have done or created something that helps someone. In my life, I have come to realize that I can only operate from my True, Authentic, Self. I am at my best in this space.I volunteer and am passionate about connecting with people, empowering women, seeing the world though the lens of inclusion, strengthening mental health, and addressing environmental concerns. I am the proud mother of an Empowerment Advocate at a women’s domestic abuse center and two Eagle Scouts.I love to read, meditate, exercise/Thai Chi/yoga, travel, connect with nature, and practice gratitude. I especially love creating beautiful things - my favorite being cross-stitch (which I taught myself in 7th grade).Favorite US Places:Edisto Island SC, Any Oceanfront, the Rocky Mountains, the Smoky Mountains, the Appalachian Trail, NYC, Black Hills SD, Florida Keys, San Diego, Harpers Ferry WV, Any National Park, Any Museum, my own backyardCountries:Austria, England, Germany, Lichtenstein, Mexico, Scotland, Switzerland
