About Me
I live in Sun Prairie with my husband and dog, Tenni. I have three daughters (ages 25, 23, and 18). Although I was born in Dubuque, Iowa, my family moved to Madison when I was entering high school. At Edgewood High School, I enjoyed playing volleyball, basketball, and track. I went to UW-Madison for my undergraduate degree and UW-La Crosse for my Master's Degree.
I have eight brothers and sisters. My twin sister, Janet Pliner, used to teach at Hamilton. Check out the article below about how we used to job share :)
