Background

My education and work experience include over fifteen years in non-profit program management and over fifteen years as an educator. Prior to moving to Wisconsin in 2008, I taught developmental reading and English in a community college in North Carolina. I've also taught at the high school level, administered teen parenting programs, services for homeless families, and worked with seniors. At twenty-one, I served two years as a Peace Corps volunteer in the Philippines.

Why Northland?

I believe in Northland's environmental focus and overall mission.
