Administrative Team

For as long as she can remember, Carol has had an interest in the health science field. Just days after graduating from high school she began to train as an EMT-basic. Several years later, Carol returned to school to earn an Associate Degree as a medical secretary. After working for a year in a family medical clinic, Carol took a position with the County, where she worked with the Clinical Unit and Children and Family Services Unit of the Human Services Department. In addition to 16 years’ experience in the health science field, she brings a strong knowledge and understanding of County government and business. When she learned about New Vision Wilderness and explored the website, Carol quickly embraced the mission of wilderness therapy and is glad to be part of the NVW-WI team. Carol enjoys various activities in each of the seasons of the Midwest. Among them are camping, fishing, and biking. In recent years, she has added motorcycle riding and learning new ways to prepare their home-raised chickens her husband tends to every year to her list.
