A retired educator from the School District of Menomonee Falls, I began my career in 1987 after a year teaching in my hometown of Black River Falls. For over 30 years, I dedicated myself to teaching children ages 4–8—a role I truly loved. I am married to Kurt, a lifelong Falls resident, and we are proud parents of three married children and grandparents to seven. Two of our children also call the Falls home.
As a founding member of Main Street Song and Dance Troupe in 2008, I’ve seen firsthand how the performing arts transform young lives. Main Street empowers teens by teaching responsibility, respect, and teamwork through vocal, dance, and theater performance. I am passionate about working with and mentoring these talented youth and love connecting with the community to share our organization’s mission and the invaluable impact of the arts.
