Description:
 Jessie Garcia took her love of sports and carved a path in the television news industry by becoming the state’s first female sportscaster. She was a Packers sideline reporter and host of both “The Mike Holmgren Show” and “The Mike McCarthy Show.” She works at WTMJ in Milwaukee and has published a memoir of her years following some rather famous teams and individuals called, My Life with the Green & Gold: Tales from 20 Years of Sportscasting.

While at the book festival, Garcia plans to share some behind-the-scenes stories from the high profile sporting events she has covered. “I also have some fun videos to share and will do a Q & A on Wisconsin sports and on being a woman/mom in a male-dominated field,” Garcia says.
