She’s a Madison native – educated at UW-Platteville before earning a master's degree from UW-Madison. Her love for animals started in the 4-H, and she’s continuing that love through research. Her research project found that if you temporarily increase the milking frequency of your fresh cows, you’ll see a lasting carryover effect of higher milk production.
