Professional Background

I am a native of Wisconsin Rapids, graduating from Assumption High School. I then attended the Scientific College of Beauty Culture in Madison. After receiving my practitioner's license, I worked in Madison area salons to receive the necessary hours to take the Manager's Exam. After receiving my Manager's license, I applied for a teaching position at the American Beauty College. After my teaching assistant preparation there I passed my Instructor's exam and taught there for two years until I moved back to my hometown in December 1978 to accept the new teaching position that opened at MSTC. I have been at MSTC for 33 years and I find every year and every student an exciting and rewarding challenge.

I received my Bachelor's Degree from UW-STOUT in 1996 and have since completed numerous credits toward teacher recertification. I love any and all forms of art and love being around people who are artists.
