I really do love all things Oshkosh! Born and raised in Oshkosh, I love having the opportunity to connect our local business owners, residents and tourists with all of the great experiences and tourism our awesome city has to offer. Outside of the fun I have working at the Convention and Visitors Bureau, I love working out with my functional fitness fam at Ardent Fitness (located in Downtown!), traveling the globe, taste testing all of the beers and exploring the city with my husband and two poodles!
