She has lived in Rhinelander for over and year and was working with Forward Service Corporation implementing a career and leadership development program in Rhinelander High School prior to beginning work at UW-Extension. Brown has an undergraduate degree in Elementary Education from Northern Michigan University, and has over five years experience coordinating community programs.
Brown's position with UW-Extension will allow her to use her education and experience to serve Langlade and Oneida counties, the Extension said in a press release.
