And after studying extra in regards to the Wisconsin Microfinance mission and the superb individuals who work right here, I really feel like I’m lastly doing that.
Outdoors of labor, I like to color and draw. When you noticed me in individual, I’d in all probability be sketching or writing away on my laptop computer. I’m tremendous captivated with issues like music, artwork, motion pictures, and social justice points. Please, be happy to achieve out to me at lrteske@wisc.edu you probably have any questions on me or the group.
