My work experience lies in road construction and construction management. I previously taught Construction Management and Heavy/Highway Construction at Ferris State University. I was the National Construction Educator of the year in 1997, and was the first female to be awarded this honor. I have been teaching in the UW-Colleges for 10 years and this is my second year at UW-Barron County. I am one the co-advisors for PTK and the dance team advisor. I am married and have two children and two dogs. I enjoy outdoor activities. Stop on by for a chat — I would enjoy talking to you about engineering!
