About Sarah

I am a full time economics instructors at Northcentral Technical College in Wausau WI for over ten years now. I started as an Illinoisian before I became a Wisconsinite. I grew up in Galesburg, IL (which is close to the Iowa/Illinois border) and moved to Naperville IL (a suburb of Chicago) to pursue my undergraduate degree at North Central College. I received a BS in economics and a minor in computer science there and was fortunate enough to study abroad a year in Belfast, Northern Ireland. After NCC, I moved into Chicago and worked as a research analyst for an economic consulting firm that specialized in litigation. A year went by and I decided to move up to Milwaukee and begin a graduate program in economics at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. I started out the year overseas in Germany studying at Giessen University in Giessen Germany. After a year, I graduated from UWM and moved up to Wausau. I’ve been teaching here for going on my tenth year now and have enjoyed my summers (and of course winters!) in north central Wisconsin. So far I’ve canoed a lot of really great rivers and attempted to play on as many golf courses in the area as possible. I recently got married and am loving married life with my husband Matt and two dogs (my maiden name being Landsdown). I am constantly doting on my 9 year old doggie, Bubba (a pug/terrier mix) and have a newer addition to the family, an Australian cattle dog/terrier mix named Dot!
