| It is a distinct pleasure to be the Superintendent of the fabulous Swallow School District. I value the district, students, families, and community that has built and maintained a top notch school and education. I began in education career over 30 years ago. My education journey has taken a path from teaching to multiple administrative roles in Wisconsin school districts. I began teaching in Milwaukee Public Schools and then moved to teach in Waukesha. I taught art for elementary and high school students. I believe that every child has potential and deserves a high quality and supportive learning experience. Over my administrative career, I have been a Department Chair, a High School Associate Principal, a Principal, an Assistant Director Curriculum, a Director of Performance and Effectiveness, Director of K-8 Education, and a Director of Curriculum and Instruction. My husband and I have one adult son who graduated from UW Lacrosse. In our free time, we enjoy our family and traveling. We are also working on renovating a 112 year old farmhouse and barn in Northern Wisconsin. |
