WHAT WERE YOU LIKE AS A STUDENT? I grew up in a very small town called New Holstein, WI where I attended Holy Rosary Catholic School and New Holstein High School. I would say that I had a very simple upbringing. I grew up in a very “Catholic” family which was rather large by today's standards. I was the second youngest out of six and the youngest girl. I was very shy and sheltered. The only “trips” we took were to visit my grandparents in Upper Michigan, which was a BIG deal! In high school, I was a member of the Honor Society, a cheerleader, and I participated in choir and musicals. After high school, I decided to attend the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay to pursue Elementary Education. (click HERE to learn more)
