Connor Glasbrenner

Hello! I’m the Online/Digital Media Intern at PBS Wisconsin. I grew up watching PBS and it is incredibly fulfilling to be part of the hard work that goes on behind the scenes. When I’m not working or in school, I enjoy refreshingly long walks and listening to music - both live and on my turntable. Thanks for watching!

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.

Jonna Mayberry

I’m a publicist at PBS Wisconsin. In my free time, you’ll find me thrift shopping, reading the latest memoir or history book, and watching Independent Lens. I run on coffee and puns. You can reach me at jonna.mayberry@pbswisconsin.org.

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.

Susannah Brooks

I'm a PBS Wisconsin publicist as well as the editor of Airwaves, our monthly program guide. When I'm not communing with my computer, I'm reading a book a day, battling fellow trivia geeks, dabbling in odd crafts and wrangling one very determined small person. Drop me a line at susannah.brooks@pbswisconsin.org.
