My favorite thing about working at Info-Pro would definitely be the flexibility and the family focus.

Tell us about your family.

I have been married to my husband, Kevin, for 4 and a half years. We have one 15-year-old son, Connor. We also have 2 indoor cats, Bug & Kallie, a yellow named Ella, and 3 outdoor cats that like to roam on the farm.

In my free time, I like to plants tons of flowers every spring and like to work in the garden. I also like to enjoy a lot of time with family and friends.

Where did you grow up?

I grew up in the country just outside of Saint Cloud, WI. I lived in Milwaukee and Stevens Point for a while, but ended up coming back to Saint Cloud. I like the small town feel.

What’s your favorite thing about living in Wisconsin? 

I like that almost my entire family lives here. For the most part, we are all within about 20 miles of each other.

Share an interesting or fun fact about yourself.

I married my childhood neighbor. We now own the house he grew up in and my parents still live in the house I grew up in, so we are neighbors with them.
