Milwaukee Talks: Cheryl O'Brien, Alice in Dairyland
Cheryl O'Brien isn't a Milwaukee native, but she calls the Brew City her "second home." O'Brien, 23, has spent the last several years here as a student studying Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and working as an assignment editor at WISN-TV (Channel 12). She left that gig a few months back when she was named the 62nd Alice in Dairyland - Wisconsin's Agricultural Ambassador. She took some time during the State Fair to chat with OnMilwaukee.com about the state's $60 billion ag industry.
