Hello everyone! I am Christina Blindauer, and I am excited to be the new secretary for WFCE. I live in Chilton, but I have taught in Sheboygan, Kiel, and Manitowoc. I am currently at Manitowoc Lincoln High where I teach culinary arts. I graduated from UW-Stout and also have a degree in professional counseling from Concordia. Culinary is my passion, and I love to teach baking and pastry classes. My greatest joy is when I watch my students find pride in their cooking! In my spare time, I love to spend time with my three children, husband, and two dogs. We love to garden, camp, and watch soccer. In my role as secretary, I look forward to working with the board to improve communication for all area professionals. It’s going to be a great year!
Julie Gomm Treasurer
Hello my name is Julie Gomm. I'm a graduate of UW-SP and have been teaching since 1987. I currently teach Culinary Basics, Culinary Advanced, Child Development and Parenting, Teen Living, Health Occupations, World of Foods, Clothing Construction & Fashion Merchandising and a 7th grade quarterly rotation. I'm lucky that my children live in our home town of Shiocton and I get to see them and the grandbabies often. We are very active in the community and when we aren't doing that we head "up north."
Caitlin Engel Reporter & Website Administrator
Hello! My name is Caitlin Engel. I graduated from UW-Stevens Point in 2014 with a bachelor's degree in Family and Consumer Sciences Education and Health Education and in 2022, I earned my master's degree in education. This is my 10th year of teaching and I teach culinary arts and interior design classes at Lincoln High School in Wisconsin Rapids. What I most enjoy about teaching FCS is the variety each day with the different classes that I teach and that my students are gaining life skills. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, fiance, friends, and cats! A lot of my time now is spent with my newborn daughter, Lyla. I also enjoy cooking, baking, biking, and traveling. I am excited to be your reporter this year! I will be updating our website and posting on our Facebook page with information throughout the year.
