Q:\u00a0 What do you do – explain how you fit into ICIT?<\/p>\n

A:\u00a0\u00a0 I am the Instructional Design Specialist with the Learning Technology Center.\u00a0 I help our faculty use technology in pedagogically effective ways.\u00a0 I create tutorials, run workshops, and meet with faculty individually to support them with their courses.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Q: One thing people don’t know about you?<\/p>\n

A:\u00a0 I lived in a museum for three years.\u00a0 I have a master\u2019s degree in history, and after graduation I was hired by the Milwaukee County Historical Society as a caretaker for Trimborn Farm in Greendale, WI.\u00a0 My husband and I took care of the buildings (including two farm-houses, two barns, and a few other old farm buildings), guided tours, hosted weddings, and performed basic collections management.\u00a0 I also supervised our interns – Amy Williams who is currently an ITS Support Specialist for LTC \u2013 was one of our interns.\u00a0 I lived on the 2nd<\/sup> floor of the main farm-house; an area comprised of offices and the collections rooms.\u00a0 Most of the volunteers thought the site was haunted, but after three years I witnessed no spooky occurrences.<\/p>\n

\u00a0Q: What is your favorite hobby?<\/p>\n

A:\u00a0 I love the outdoors.\u00a0 I like backpacking, snowshoeing, hiking, and kayaking.\u00a0 My husband and I moved to Whitewater this past July, and we really enjoy everything that the area has to offer.\u00a0 We visit the kettles at least once a week, and look forward to seeing everything with snow.\u00a0 Next year we are hoping to go to the Boundary Waters wilderness area for a week.<\/p>\n

\"My<\/a><\/p>\n

Q: What was your first job?<\/p>\n

A: My first job was working in a corn-dog booth at the Racine County Fair.\u00a0 I was probably 14 years old, and I loved it because I could eat fried food all day and hang out with my friends.<\/p>\n

Q: Tell me something interesting about yourself?<\/p>\n

A: I\u2019m really good at painting and drawing.\u00a0 In high school I won a few state-wide competitions, in college I minored in art, but stopped once I started grad-school.\u00a0 I picked it up again about a year ago, and I spend a few hours a week practicing.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/a><\/p>\n

Q: Do you have any special talent?<\/p>\n

A: I can read German, Latin, and Middle English.<\/p>\n

Q: What is your guilty pleasure?<\/p>\n

A: TV crime dramas, like Bones, NCIS, all the CSIs, Psyche, The Finder, Monk, etc.\u00a0 Almost every night I tell myself that I will spend my time doing something enriching and valuable, but instead I snuggle on the sofa and watch a marathon of CSI.<\/p>\n

Q: Favorite food?<\/p>\n

A: I love pickled food.\u00a0 I\u2019ve gotten very good at making dilly beans and pickled onions, and have recently started making pickled eggs as well.\u00a0 I want to start making chutneys and Indian lime pickles, but I need to clear out some space in my pantry first.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
