With over five years of Community and Economic Development experience, I am passionate about helping communities and companies grow. I recently returned to my home state of Wisconsin after serving with the Peace Corps in the Republic of Moldova and obtaining my Masters in Community and Economic Development from Western Illinois University. Following graduate school, I served as the Community and Economic Development Director for the rural municipality of Erie, Illinois.
Now back in cheesehead country, I am thrilled to have joined the EDWC team and be part of “doing economic development differently” in Washington County. We serve as the conduit for communities and businesses to grow. We consult directly with municipalities to develop comprehensive site plans, strategic plans, and impact analyses. We provide advocacy, representation, and timely counsel on a variety of municipal matters. We focus on growing businesses within Washington County and the Southeast Wisconsin region by providing services including workforce and demographic data analytics, site selection, incentive deal structuring, and financing through Washington County’s Impact Revolving Loan Fund.
