Alyssa Beno

I am the editor of Airwaves, our monthly program guide for members. When I’m not highlighting our incredible programs, I’m pedaling the countryside, hiking at a state park, making soy candles, thrift shopping or hanging out with my husband and miniature schnauzer.

Becky Marburger

I am a publicist at PBS Wisconsin, and was formerly an education producer at the station. Much of my time outside of work is spent farming with my husband and keeping up with our children.

Carol Griskavich

I'm the Community Education Specialist at PBS Wisconsin, which means I use your input to create the community events that get your Wisconsin neighbors engaged. I stay out of trouble by doing improv comedy, cooking perfectly edible meals, and accepting compliments on my glasses that people continuously think are new. I actually got them a year ago, but thanks for noticing! Have a thought? Let me know: carol.griskavich@pbswisconsin.org

Erik Ernst

I'm the promotion manager at Wisconsin Public Television. When I'm not letting people know about all of the awesome work the station is doing around the state, you'll find me planning my family's next trip to somewhere fun, warm and likely connected to a Disney Park.

Ian Lewitz

I'm a PBS Wisconsin publicist and former production assistant for the Wisconsin Life project. I enjoy exploring Wisconsin's many lakes and spending the summer months camping around the state.

Jessie Nixon

I am an Education Engagement Specialist at PBS Wisconsin Education. When I’m not facilitating professional development experiences for educators around the state, I am out enjoying our state’s wonderful trail systems. Hope to see you on the trail!

Sigrid Peterson

I'm the online content editor at PBS Wisconsin. I make our digital shenanigans compelling, friendly, and interactive so viewers can access great PBS programming over the air, on the web, on a boat, in a moat, in a box, with a fox. . . you catch my drift. I'd love to hear your ideas! Email me at sigrid.peterson@pbswisconsin.org.
