WHAT IS YOUR STORY? HOW DID YOU END UP IN MILWAUKEE? 

I grew up in the small, rural town of Gillett, WI. I grew up showing beef cattle and spent most of my time growing up in agriculture. I attended the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and graduated with my BS in Communications with an emphasis in public relations and a minor in journalism. After graduation, I moved to Milwaukee for a position with an animal nutrition company on their marketing team and have been here since!

WHAT STRUGGLES DO YOU SEE OUR CITY DEALING WITH? WHAT CAN OUR GENERATION DO TO HELP?

Milwaukee and all cites are experiencing a lot of change. I believe our generation can support this change and help people through changes that could affect them through our different communication outlets, such as social media platforms, blogs, eNewsletters and so on.
