from the editor
Fancy meeting you here.
We all know what they say about first
impressions. You never get a second chance to
make another; the first one is the lasting one –
the colloquialisms go on and on. Some research
suggests humans need only seven seconds to
determine whether they will get along with a new
acquaintance or resign them to a place where only
stink eyes are exchanged.
Intimidating stuff, first impressions.
Within the pages of this month’s YOU Magazine,
you will meet 20 local women who make some
strong impressions. Maybe this printed equivalent
to a handshake will be a barrage of first encounters or maybe you will get reacquainted with some
old friends. Either way, I hope you enjoy getting
to know these inspirational women who represent
our dynamic and diverse community.
In an issue all about introductions, it
makes sense to introduce myself as YOU
Magazine’s new editor. It’s an honor to
be entrusted with a publication that has
such a devoted following and plays a key
role in championing local women. In a
nutshell, I am thrilled to be here.
By Amelia Compton Wolff
I look forward to learning, growing,
changing, stumbling, recovering and
celebrating with all of you in the months
and years ahead. Your feedback is invaluable to the success of YOU,
so please drop me a line any time.
Nice meeting you,
Editor, YOU Magazine

Heather
Trevarthen
owner of Ellipse Fitness,
Allouez
Heather Trevarthen, 35, loves helping others
and making a difference. Once overweight, she
became determined to “never go back,” and it
changed her life.
“It sounds cliché, but I have no greater joy than
being a part of the transformations at Ellipse
and supporting our community, in any way possible,” she says.
One of those ways is through hosting Victory
Over Violence, a fundraiser for domestic abuse.
Rebecca
Ann Krull
veterinarian and
co-owner, Green Bay
and Allouez Animal
Hospitals
Dr. Rebecca Krull, 37, is used to holding paws – and hands – as a small animal veterinarian. She began her path
toward her career as a “kennel kid”
for Dr. Neil Rechsteiner at the Green
Bay and Allouez Animal Hospitals.
She graduated in 2005 with her DVM,
began working at the practice and became co-owner in 2008.
“I always wanted to be a veterinarian,
from the moment I was little,” she reflects. “I am passionate about veterinary medicine, about caring for furry
family members and for educating
owners on how to best care for their
cats and dogs.”
Krull is just as devoted to being a great
mom to children Andrew, 5, and Emily,
3. It’s a delicate balance achieved with
the help of her husband, Chad.
“I have worked so hard for my career,
but my kids are my greatest joy and
hardest job,” she explains. “I can have
the longest day at work, but when I
walk in the door they are ecstatic to
see me and just want to cuddle.”
“I am passionate about this cause. I hope everyone finds a cause they are passionate about
and support it. The community is only as strong
as those individuals and businesses in it.”
The drive to help others is something her mother instilled in her early on.
“My mom is always ready to help others and seems to find a way to ‘do the right thing.’
In life, the learning never ends, but I try to follow her lead as much as I can!”
Jacqueline
M. Bushner
owner of Essential to
Wellness, De Pere
Jacqueline Bushner, 50, is fervent in her mission
to help people take care of themselves. As a massage therapist, she uses her trade to help others
who suffer from a multitude of health issues.
“Sometimes customers come into my office, and I
can see the pain and/or depression on their face,”
she explains. “When I can figure out the source
of that pain and use the tools in my tool kit to
relieve them of that pain…it really makes my day
too! What could be more joyful than seeing that
pain alleviated for someone else?”
Bushner tackles her own obstacles through biking – the bigger the hill, the better.
“I love to bike hills,” she says. “Big hills, long hills
and lots of hills. The up hills are challenging and
the down hills are exhilarating!
“Feed your body, mind and spirit and you will
heal your life,” she adds. “I believe this with all
my heart.”

Major Robin Leigh
(Bonifield) Shiels
officer for The Salvation Army
People in need depend on Major Robin
Shiels for comfort. From giving a hug to
helping families get back on their feet,
Shiels, 54, changes lives.
“I knew the Army was where I belong
because showing God’s love as we
help people is what motivates what we
do,” she says.
Shiels says, with a smile, that her work
allows her to practice one of her quirks
– “collecting” people.
Christine Woleske
executive vice president, Bellin Health
Lifelong learning is a mission for Christine Woleske, 49. Her career
path started with a degree in healthcare administration from UW-Eau
Claire. She then completed
her law degree at Marquette
University, and after a few
years in law, joined Bellin
in 1998 as the compliance
officer, then became vice
president
and
general
counsel before her current
role.
“I never want to stop learning new things – whether
it’s a new skill, a new way
of doing something, or just
taking a class about something I don’t know much
about,” she says.
Her dad, Gerard Wilde, is
her role model.
“He has always demonstrated loyalty and commitment and a great work
ethic,” she says. “He was an
amazing caregiver for my
mom for the many years she
suffered with Alzheimer’s. I
have tried to follow his example in my life by working
hard, being generous toward others and being loyal
to my family.”
10
“I really love people!” she says. “And
some of them love me back enough to
let me be more involved in their lives.
And I call them ‘mine.’ I get to dedicate
babies, do weddings and attend parties,
graduations and retirements; I love being
there for all the moments of their lives.
“I have ‘a-ha’ moments every day,” she
adds, “that remind me that God is using
me to fulfill His purpose through my life
and those I am blessed to interact with.”
Natalie
Parrish
Culver’s
Keep smiling and do
what’s right – those
are words everyone
should live by, and it’s
the mantra of Natalie
Parrish, 37, of Green
Bay. Parrish, who has
Down syndrome, was
inspired by her parents
to always be the best
she can be; she also
finds great joy from her
family, her staff through
ASPIRO and her job at
Culver’s.
Of the secret to her
success, Parrish says,
“Trying new things at work. Having my family and the ASPIRO staff there for me.”
In her free time, Parrish likes going on vacations – especially Disney World – participating in Special Olympics
and visiting the YMCA.
“I like to do word searches, my DS games, my Wii Fitness,
sports and dance exercises,” she adds.
When Parrish comes upon struggles in her life, she says
she keeps a positive attitude. Knowing how it has helped
her persevere, her wish is, “For Down syndrome persons
to keep learning and trying new things.”

She’s the woman you
want on your team at work
– and as a good friend.
Tw e n t y - e i g h t- y e a r- o l d
Kristin Rabas’ attention to
detail and knack for organization and planning makes her perfect for her role at Aurora
Health Care in Green Bay. It also means she’s the one who ensures great get-togethers for friends and family. A graduate of
UW-Madison, Rabas says in addition to her work ethic, networking has been her key to success.
“I’ve always considered myself a people person, and I find it easy
to talk to just about anyone,” she explains. “I’ve always believed
that relationships and helping others out when they need it will
help you succeed in life both professionally and personally.”
Joan M.
Rousseau
president/owner,
ACR Heating and
Cooling, Green Bay
Joan Rousseau lives by the
phrase “Nothing worthwhile
comes easy; you have to work
hard for what you want.” Her position with ACR came about as a
way to help her family business,
and her previous work experiences gave her the strength to
serve in a leadership role.
“I love being able to work sideby-side with my husband and
am fortunate to work with a supportive staff,” says Rousseau,
58. “I know people are relying on me, and I can’t let them down.”
Rousseau’s other passion in life is spreading the word about
adoption.
“My husband and I were fortunate to be able to adopt two beautiful children,” she explains. “They have brought nothing but joy
and happiness to our lives. I’m a huge supporter of adoption. I
love to assist people with their adoption questions and the general process.”

Cora L.
Haltaufderheid
COO, PMI Entertainment
Group
From circus elephants to jersey-clad hockey
players to Elton John in a sweat suit – such
is a day in the life of Cora Haltaufderheid, 58.
“In the past 16 years in the entertainment/
event business, my career has evolved just
as PMI and the Brown County Veterans Memorial Complex has,” explains Haltaufderheid. “I can honestly say that there is never
a dull moment in our complex or at the ever
busy Meyer Theatre. I am very blessed to
work with a group of people – of all ages –
who have a passion for fun!”
And while work has brought amazing opportunity to Haltaufderheid, her greatest
joy comes from her family, including her husband Rick, daughter Allison, 23, and
son Jordan, 21.
Says Haltaufderheid of her many blessings, “Every day is a gift!”
Molly
Johnson
artist, instructor at
Northeast Wisconsin
Technical College
Molly Johnson, 48, of Green Bay, has many
roles: owner, executive director and instructor at The Academy of Fine Art; professional
artist; NWTC fine art instructor; Academy
Pop-up Gallery curator; wife; mother; and
grandmother. But for Johnson, success is
defined not by titles, but by how she helps
others through those roles. Evident of that
fact is a quote she looks at every day.
“More important than being successful is
being significant. Significance is making a
contribution to others,” she reflects. “I am
not sure what newspaper I cut that out of,
but it has been taped on my fridge for 25
years.”
Ensuring that fine art remains an integral part
of the area’s culture is just as important to
her.
“I push for everyone to expose themselves
and their children to all the varied forms out
there,” she explains. “From galleries, studio
tours and fairs, there are plenty of free opportunities to get out there and support the
local artists.”
Kari Lynn
Moody
director of
Alumni Relations,
University of
WisconsinGreen Bay
You may have seen her sing the
national anthem for area sporting events, but singing is just
one of the many areas this dynamo excels in. Wife to Pete and
mom to Sophia, 7, Elaina, 6, and
Brynna, 3, the 35-year-old has a
full plate at home and at work.
“As a professional and a parent, work-life balance is always
a challenge,” she reflects. “I find
working in a field I absolutely love makes it easier to leave my children at
home. I also find putting myself 100 percent into whatever I’m doing helps
me to get things accomplished and makes for less guilt.”
She credits her mother, Pat Heier, with instilling her with that work ethic.
“She taught me to give back, work hard, love unconditionally and lean on
those around you for support,” says Moody. “She is an amazing woman, and
I am so proud to be her daughter.”

Sunny Lynn
DuBois
Jeanne Ann
Agneessens
digital content manager/
visual coordinator,
August Haven; owner/
designer of Ebb and
Flow Flowers, Green Bay
program manager,
Leadership Green Bay
As program manager for Leadership
Green Bay, Jeanne Agneessens, 65,
has the unique opportunity to live out
her enthusiasm for giving back to the
community through her career.
She has designed floral arrangements for
clients like Oprah Winfrey’s Harpo Studios,
and now Sunny DuBois, 34, is blazing a new
trail in Green Bay—creating amazing things
for others to enjoy.
“The program I manage is a great benefit to this community,” she explains. “I
have always believed that and known it
to be true. Working for something that
has great value doesn’t seem like a job,
more like a purpose.”
“Whatever it may be, the whole process of
idea conception through to completion is rewarding, but there is nothing like seeing your
vision become a reality,” she explains.
An avid volunteer for her children while
they were in school, at church and for
the conservation group the Izaak Walton
League, Agneessens is inspired by her
experiences.
DuBois says it is helpful that she’s “part left
brain, part right brain.”
“I have an intensely creative side where I
conceptualize ideas and projects down to
the finest detail, but I am also very organized
and even practical which allows me to execute my creative vision.
“After 28 years in the Izaak Walton League, I am serving my ninth year on the National Endowment Board as a member and the secretary,” she says. “It has given me great insight
into leadership, what not to do as a leader, and what you should be doing.”
“When people say to me now, ‘I’ve seen your
work and I love your style,’ it is more than
just a compliment, it is validation,” she adds.
Nicole
Hoffmann
vice president of
development,
ASPIRO
From the very beginning, Nicole Hoffman says she has loved her work.
“Working at ASPIRO affords me the
privilege of working with a group of
extremely passionate co-workers
and volunteers,” Hoffman, 37, explains. “Our work to support individuals with disabilities thrive in their
lives is both rewarding and truly
humbling.”
Hoffman also relishes the time she spends with her 7-year-old son. Being a parent helped
teach her to always be present, no matter what she is doing, to ensure success.
“When I am at work, my full attention is on my job. When I am at home, my full attention is
on my family and home. I find that when I mix the two, I’m not very good at either.
“After a challenging day or week at work, playing or talking with my son brings everything
back into perspective,” she adds. “He makes me laugh every day.”

Michaela Mae Franklin
head coach, UW-GB Women’s Volleyball
A proud Midwest girl, Michaela Franklin, 30, has made her mark on and off
the volleyball court—she was once a
part of the Big 12 championship team
at Kansas State University. While she
shapes the athletic careers of women
each season, she also finds immense
joy in watching her players become
successful people and students.
“I think I wanted to coach because,
after my mom and grandma, the next
biggest influences in my life were my
Korissa
Lynn
Diehl
coaches,” remembers Franklin.
To ensure she’s a good example to the young
women she molds, she says relies upon the
foundation on which she was raised.
“Things that my mom told me were you never
burn a bridge, treat others the way you want to
be treated and do the right thing.
“I also hate to lose more than I like to win, so
that has always driven me to work harder and
be successful,” she adds.
Jill Marie Dougherty
donor relations/office operations
manager, Green Bay Botanical Garden
After losing her job – and her identity – in 2008, Jill Dougherty, 52,
says she got back on her feet by volunteering, which led her down
a new, exciting career path at the Green Bay Botanical Garden. She
was inspired to find more satisfying work and a more meaningful and
balanced life.
program
coordinator,
YWCA
AfterSchool
Program
As the after-school
program coordinator
for the YMCA, Korissa Diehl, 35, plays an
integral role in helping
low income, at-risk
children in the community. It’s more than
a job title for Diehl –
it’s close to her heart.
“During my teen years, I went down the wrong path in life and
ended up becoming a parent at age 17,” she explains. “Not understanding how to raise a child, and feeling hurt, confused and
scared, I found help in my community.”
Working with teens who may find themselves in similar situations,
Diehl knows it’s her chance to make a difference.
“I am so passionate about giving children a voice to be heard, a
second chance if they need it and helping them understand they
can be and do anything they want in life,” she adds. “Loving the
unlovable, encouraging the discouraged and finding strength for
the weak will be what I strive for in this life.”
“With the help of my recareer coach, Barbara Wulf, I took a personal
inventory and realigned
my resume with my head
and my heart,” she explains. “Looking back on
a 25-year corporate career in ice cream [at Good
Humor], I realized I was
moving in a new direction
– giving not taking. Longing for a stronger people
and community connection, I began a job search
targeting learning environments, non-profits and
organizations with proven
community service missions.”
“The GBBG is a great
place to be – enjoying,
learning and caring for the
environment,” she adds.
“It’s important for all of us
to realize that over time,
we continue to evolve –
both personally and professionally.”

Tricia A. Nell
Green Bay native Janie Denis-Strutt surrounds herself with role models who, she
says, abound with deep life lessons.
Every day in Tricia Nell’s world is a challenge. Nell says it can be heartbreaking
to deal with individuals who face problems like serious injury, juveniles with
adult drug charges or a woman who
has to testify against her ex-husband
who sexually abused their children.

Tricia Nell Law
Office, Green Bay

co-owner, Forte
Modeling and Talent
“I find and engage with positive-minded
doers, and there I have found a fountain of
knowledge” says. “Joy comes from those relationships and being surrounded by those
who live graciousness. Be respectful and
gracious, and it will come back to you tenfold.”
Denis-Strutt, 51, believes there are several
keys to success. Among them is attitude.
“Your attitude defines your actions,” she
says. “Your actions define your character.
Your character defines who you are. Live
with the attitude that your ‘cup is always
half full’ – not half empty. My attitude is to
see not-so-wise choices as opportunities for
growth.
“And when you embrace attitudes for growth
and learning, especially in adversity, you are
a winner,” she adds.
“It is important to find a way to keep going every day because people count on
you and your strength,” says Nell, 41.
“Even in the toughest of times, it is important to keep on keepin’ on.”
Being a great role model in the courtroom isn’t enough for Nell, who believes in always
going the extra mile. She also helps empower young women through the “Dress the Girls
Program,” which she founded.
“[My grandmother] taught me the importance of giving to others,” says Nell. “She wholeheartedly believed that it was better to give than to receive and has instilled those same
morals in me.”
Staci L. Yates
owner, Fiore’ Refurbished
Arts and Accessories,
Green Bay
Green Bay native Staci Yates, 45, loves to
recycle, reuse and restyle. As owner of Fiore’
in downtown Green Bay, this determined,
truthful and strong woman lives the belief
that something beautiful can be made from
nothing.
“I have met some beautiful people and to see
someone leave my shop feeling happy inside
makes me the happiest person on earth,”
she says. “We are all unique in our own way.
That doesn’t mean we can’t be trendy or
fashionable, we just need to find what looks
best on us and feel good about wearing it.”
As a single mother to three children, Yates’
view of success is different than what has
become the societal norm.
“Every day we can make a difference in someone else’s life,” she explains. “Success is
raising good kids that hold high values and morals and respect. Money is important, that’s
apparent, but there is so much to be said about the path that leads you through the dark
places but still brings you the sun. That’s success.”

CanWeNetwork Connects Real People Virtually
With all of today’s social networking opportunities, navigating the
business world can feel endless and overwhelming. Not to mention, the ways people network are changing. Meeting business
contacts has moved beyond the bar and into cyberspace. CanWeNetwork is the must-have mobile app for professionals looking
to streamline their networking endeavors – both online and off.
Available in the Apple iTunes store (iOS) as well as the Android
Marketplace, CanWeNetwork uses geo-spatial technology and a
matching engine to recommend individuals nearby who you should meet
for professional networking and business opportunities.
The app analyzes data from LinkedIn profiles to make networking recommendations based on location, skills, experience, interests and personality traits. Once a recommendation is made and your matches are
displayed, invite those you are interested in to meet you for coffee, lunch
or happy hour and network the night away. This app facilitates introductions in a safe and secure environment so you can create valuable career
connections.
