I grew up in Pennsylvania, and have lived in Maryland, Ohio, Mississippi, Texas and Wisconsin. My husband and I have been residents of Wisconsin for the past 20 years. We have two grown children. Our daughter, her partner and two grandchildren and our son and daughter-in-law live in TX. In our free time, we enjoy riding our motorcycle on country roads in the state and on road trips to Pennsylvania and Texas to visit family.
I began working for the State of Wisconsin in 1989 with the Department of Corrections and transferred to UW-Whitewater in 2001. I am the Administrative Affairs representative for the Chancellor’s Task Force for LGBT Issues. Our daughter is my inspiration and driving force to be on the LGBT Task Force. I am thankful for the opportunity to help raise awareness of LGBT issues and to help provide a comfortable and safe environment for all students, faculty and staff.
The task force is comprised of members from all over campus. The blog allows us to not only let the campus community know what we do, but also gives us an opportunity to introduce the individuals that make up this fantastic committee.
