"I earned my masters degree and doctorate in American history from Marquette University. I have a degree in English from University of Wisconsin Green Bay. After I finished college, I became a historical interpreter. That means I was one of those people you see at an outdoor museum in costume who cooks over a fire, or shoots a musket, or works with groups of school children about history. I loved it; I had found my calling. Or so I had thought.

After doing that for several years I made the decision to again go back to school. I just needed to find my path to not just learning, but to enjoy learning. Today, I am the director of a whole museum where I still get to talk to young people and make history come alive for them. I still enjoy learning, and I still enjoy helping people to walk their own path to reaching their full potential, just as many people helped me. That is why after all of the different turns life has blessed me with, I am still a tutor." less...
