"I love creating/designing databases and coding new web pages."

Becky came to the NFL in November of 2003 after graduating from Fox Valley Technical College with an Associate Degree in PC Programming and Database Design. She started as a part-time Web Programmer and Publications Assistant. Her duties include assisting with the development and maintenance of the NFL web, creating web forms and databases, providing PC hardware and software support, as well as assisting with the publication of the Rostrum.

In April 2004, through a grant provided by the United Nations Foundation, Becky assumed additional responsibilities promoting The People Speak Project. Her main tasks included sending promotional materials to schools, keeping in contact with the United Nations Foundation, and creating a database to track information pertaining to school participation.

When Becky first began, the NFL was looking to update and improve the website, so initially much of her time was spent researching and analyzing the current online points application. As ideas were formulated concerning the design, functionally, and roles of NFL staff members specific goals were set. One of the main goals was that the NFL staff have the ability to modify content, which included editing pages, adding images and uploading all form files. In August 2004, web design consultant, Thunderdata Systems was hired to help the NFL reach its website goals. After some initial NFL staff training, Becky became the in-house resource who assists staff members in developing their assigned areas on the website.

Since the NFL website has been up and running, Becky has been busy with setting up web pages, creating user friendly online forms and working with other NFL staff members in setting up the new online store, establishing the District Chair section, and developing current and archive sections of the Rostrum. In addition, Becky is responsible for monitoring the website and bulletin board to make sure everything is working properly and developing website procedures that will save both time and money for the NFL. To avoid duplication of NFL forms Becky has designed coding procedures for in-house form development. Whenever there are questions or problems with regards to the web, Becky is available to staff members.

Becky said one of her goals is to be involved in the re-development of the points application which is currently being reviewed.

Becky is married to Scott who works for the State of Wisconsin as an HVAC Specialist. They have two children in high school - Heather, age 17, is a senior and Ashley, age 15, is a freshman.
