Wisconsin Connection
My connection with Wisconsin began at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I received a bachelor’s degree in education in 1970.

After teaching and completing graduate school in West Virginia, I returned to Wisconsin in 1981 and worked as a newspaper reporter and columnist for five years at the Shorewood Herald and then as a reporter for more than seven years at The Milwaukee Journal. Since 1993, when my son was born, I have worked as a freelance writer and editor specializing in education and children's issues.

Published Works
On Her Own: The Life of Betty Brinn (Elizabeth A. Brinn Foundation, August, 2001)
Illustrated by: Joanne Scholler Bowring
