New beginnings staff and board members

I am married with two children.  My son is in his final year of college at UW Milwaukee and my daughter is a sophomore at UW Oshkosh. I joined New Beginnings because I believe women, babies, and families have the best chance for health and wellbeing when all their needs are addressed: health care, mental health care, substance abuse, educational training, job skills planning, employment, and living situation. New Beginnings enables young mothers to live away from cultural influence and nurture her baby in a positive environment. I am proud to be part of an organization that empowers young women to become confident, successful mothers. 

I joined the board of New Beginnings in 2019 because I was looking for a way to get involved in the community, and supporting women and their children is a cause I deeply care about. I look forward to having a continued role in this ministry and making a positive contribution to the Fond du Lac community.  

I live in town with my husband, and I enjoy spending time with our families and friends. In my free time I'm an aspiring homesteader with a garden and chickens that my mom and I share, I love to knit, and coffee is a passion of mine. 

I am a banker at the local National Exchange Bank & Trust. I live with my man, Matthew, and our small zoo (two dogs, two cats, and a tortoise named Frank Shellnatra). I am a newer addition (2021) to the Board of New Beginnings, and I am beyond excited to be elected to contribute to such a worthwhile cause. If you see me out and about in the community — as I try my best to support local artists and musicians, especially — feel free to say "Hi!" 

My name is Alexis Faul, and I am a college student attending UW Oshkosh, majoring in Crop and Soil Science, along with Spanish. I work a seasonal job at Stuart's Landscaping and Garden Center as a part of the maintenance crew. I enjoy gardening, hiking, camping, and playing piano. I joined the New Beginnings board in May 2021 because I am passionate about supporting women as they make life-affirming decisions. As I am fairly young and new to the board, I look forward to the opportunity to learn and grow from this experience.

I am a Logistics Coordinator in the health product manufacturing industry. 

I have one daughter, Mykenzie, age 24. 

I’ve been a New Beginnings RA for 10 years, and a board member for 2 years.

I am an avid Wisconsin sports fan, and I enjoy the outdoors and traveling. I enjoy working with our residents, partnering with and encouraging them to live their best lives.

Fun fact: I'm an avid coffee lover, and NOT a morning person. 

I have been a high school English teacher for 13 years at Saint Mary’s Springs Academy High School, where I teach American Literature, dual-credit College English, Speech, and Creative Writing. Prior to that, I worked as a freelance writer for Action Publications, writing front-page human interest feature articles for nearly two decades. During this time, I also contributed to the pro-life cause by writing op-ed letters and assisting with the publication of the newsletter for the Right to Life in Fond du Lac. My husband and I have three sons, two of whom are married, and one granddaughter. My entire family has been life-long advocates for and supporters of the pro-life movement and organizations. Currently, I also serve as the lead moderator for our fledgling student pro-life group at SMSA, Ledgers for Life.
