I grew up in Lacrosse, Wisconsin and am the oldest of 7 children.  I played high school and college softball, tennis, and basketball.  Biology was my major in college for 3 years before switching to Recreation Administration (I took 1 computer class in the 8 years I was in college 😊).  I have an 18-year-old daughter who is attending IUP and studying Criminology.  In my spare time, I love to travel!  I have been to Iceland, Aruba, Mexico and have hiked to the bottom of the Grand Canyon!
