Hello!  Beginning this week we are starting a monthly member profile section.  Each month, a different member will be profiled on the home page.
Michelle Rinehart
This month we are profiling our WFDA President, Michelle Rinehart.The fun starts with Michelle's acceptance speech.

Here's our Q&A with Michelle.
Name: Michelle L. Rinehart

Hometown: Madison

Occupation: Funeral Director with Gunderson Funeral Home for 15 years

Education: Associate Degree in Mortuary Science MATC 1993

Family: Daughter Samantha/ Freshman at UW Whitewater

I was inspired to enter this line of work at my grandfather's funeral in 1989. I worked for that funeral home for 6 months and fell in love with the profession.

The most challenging aspect of my job is dealing with multiple families at one time and making sure they feel as though they are the only one.

The most rewarding part of my job is when my families are happy with everything we provide for them.

If I were to give advice to someone entering this line of work it would be to have an open mind and work hard.

When I'm not working I try and relax, catch up on reading, bowling, shooting darts and playing bingo.
My favorite place to travel is Vegas. Friends and I normally go at least twice a year.

My dream trip really is finding a white sandy beach with a drink in hand and relaxing. I enjoying going on Facebook where I can catch up with a lot of people.
