What year did you start at Visit Milwaukee?

2024

What makes working at Visit Milwaukee special?

Working to improve the city where I grew up provides a clear, compelling sense of purpose. It’s not just about fulfilling my job responsibilities but it's about making a tangible, lasting impact on the lives of people I know and care about. My work becomes more meaningful and special because what we do at Visit Milwaukee is directly tied to improving the community and the quality of life for its residents through economic impact.

What is something fun about you?

I love spending time with my family, sharing laughs, and dreaming up and planning our next big travel adventure.

What are some of your "can't miss" Milwaukee experiences?

I always make time to visit Milwaukee’s parks and beer gardens, with some of my favorites being South Shore Park, War Memorial Park, and Sheridan Park. I also enjoy exploring the trails at Wehr Nature Center.  There’s nothing like getting out in nature and soaking in the beauty of the area.

If you could only eat one Milwaukee staple food forever, what would it be?

This was a tough question, but if I had to choose, I'd go with a classic fish fry!
