Birgit has over 25 years of experience in technical editing and content writing. She previously served as editing department manager at an environmental consulting firm, and in 2016 she became an independent contractor for content writing and editing. Birgit witnessed the devastation of Alzheimer’s when her mother became ill in 2010. While her mom has since lost her battle with this disease, her love of music and dance had an enormous impact in lifting up her spirits and keeping her present with her family for longer than medical experts thought possible. Birgit started taking ballroom lessons in 2012 and appreciates the engagement of both her mind and body that comes with learning this beautiful artform. Also, after a challenging day, a ballroom lesson is just what the doctor ordered to clear her mind and end her day with joy. When the opportunity arose to write grants for Rx Ballroom Dance in August 2018, Birgit knew she had to be involved because she strongly believes in the positive effects ballroom dancing has on people suffering from neurodegenerative illnesses based on her personal family experience.
