My husband serves as a New Glarus volunteer firefighter, and service has always been at the center of our lives. In 2007, I founded Corrine’s Little Explorers, a five star early childhood education program dedicated to helping children thrive and supporting working families. For nearly two decades, I have worked directly with parents balancing rising costs, workforce shortages, and the growing strain on our public schools.

My advocacy extends beyond my classroom. I served as President of the Wisconsin Early Childhood Association, where I worked with providers, parents, and policymakers to strengthen child care access and sustainability across our state. I also co-founded Wisconsin Early Childhood Action Needed, a statewide organization that brings child care professionals, parents, business owners, and community members together to advocate for Wisconsin's children. I have testified before the United States House Small Business Committee and Wisconsin legislative committees, speaking up for small businesses, rural communities, and working families who too often feel unheard.
