Wisconsin Connection
I was born and raised in Burlington, WI. After high school I earned an Associate Degree from Madison Area Technical College in Tourism Recreation. I've taught private tennis lessons at a variety of South East Wisconsin tennis clubs and am now following my dream of creating a line of children's books. I enjoy creating the illustrations for my books with a "child's eye" using colored pencils, crayons and markers.
