I grew up in Milwaukee but moved to Oshkosh in 2004 to attend the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. I graduated from UWO with a Bachelor of Science in Journalism in Advertising/Public Relations and a Studio Art minor in 2009. After graduating college, I planted some roots in Oshkosh and started a family while continuing to work in various marketing and communication roles in multiple industries including aviation, retail and sales, finance, and more. I was then hired as the Mission and Brand Enhancement Director for the Oshkosh YMCA in 2018.

As the Mission and Brand Enhancement Director, I share and educate our community on the mission of the Oshkosh YMCA through various digital and traditional marketing efforts. My goal is to infuse the Y's mission into ALL that we do and help share the Oshkosh Y story with our community, while also growing our membership and programs.

Growing up, I wasn’t a Y member, but did attend some Y events with friends. I like to think that I’ve always had a little “Y” in me though. At the Y, our team is something special. Y staff are mission-driven and lead with their heart. They are passionate and care about our members and community. When you build an incredible team like we have, you change lives every day. I can genuinely say I love my job and coming to work every day.

Outside of work I am a single mom to two amazing kids, and a lover of all things outdoors. I love our beautiful state of Wisconsin and enjoy being outdoors for all four seasons, fishing, boating, kayaking, hiking, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, and more! I am usually on the go and a busy body, but on occasion also enjoy slowing down with a warm cup of coffee, an old fashioned by a campfire, or with a good book.
