Hired: March 2006
Education:
- University of Wisconsin - River Falls - B.S. in Journalism with a minor in Professional Writing - Graduated in the Honors Program
Life Before Risdall:
In addition to the full-time job of job hunting after graduation, December 2005, Anne also worked at Axel's Bonfire in Woodbury.
Skill Development:
While at UW-RF, Anne worked as a copy editor, reporter and page editor for the student newspaper, the Student Voice. "My time there strengthened my writing skills and allowed me to fulfill a variety of roles as a team player. As my first job out of college, I'm excited to be able to put what I've learned to work for Risdall."
Kodak Moment:
"I became Auntie Anne for the first time this past summer. It's got a nice ring to it, don't you think?"
Favorite Candy at RAA:
"Why choose when I can have it all? This fulfills my dream of being a kid in a candy store!" Swedish fish, anything "gummy".
After Hours:
When not playing sports, Anne enjoys watching them. She also spends a lot of time running, playing volleyball, hiking and being outdoors. Come Friday afternoon, Anne looks forward to weekends spent camping and canoeing with her family. "After spending a semester studying abroad in Scotland, I came home with a serious travel bug. I look forward to going back to some of the places I visited in Europe, especially Scotland."
Ya, You Bet!
People could consider Anne a "Yooper." Much of her early childhood was spent in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan before her family moved to Minnesota in 1995.
Stop the Presses!
"When UW-RF's chancellor died in a car accident the morning the Student Voice newspaper was about to go to press, I interviewed a variety of students and faculty to help put together a front-page story on the fly. After completely changing the front-page layout, we were able to get the story out to the campus that day, while still meeting the press deadline."
