She has an interest in researching pro-social rule breaking (PSRB) in public workplaces.

Deanna has professional expertise in municipal treasury, public accounting, auditing, and social service contract management. She works as the Village Administrator, Clerk and Treasurer for the Village of Newburg, Wisconsin. Deanna’s previous work in government included time with the Milwaukee County Behavioral Health Division, giving her the distinction of being one of the few Milwaukee County employees ever to be elected to the County Board.

In addition, Deanna has worked for the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families overseeing Milwaukee County’s foster care system and has served as an enlisted soldier in the Wisconsin Army National Guard with Milwaukee’s 57th Field Artillery Brigade.

In 2013, Deanna was named to a national “Top 10 Under 40 Future Leaders” list.

Deanna grew up with an incarcerated parent and family members with addiction issues.  Her family often had to struggle to make ends meet and she knows what it is like to lose a source of income and get tangled in bureaucracy trying figure out complex public support systems.  She thrives on helping people figure out the best way to work with government or to make government work for them.  In her personal life she has adopted through foster care, is a dog-mom, hits the gym near daily, and loves traveling.
