I am one of the members of our Early Childhood team! I graduated from the University of Wisconsin Whitewater with a dual license in Early Childhood and Special Education, with an Autism Specialist Certificate.
My husband Brent, my son Berkley and I live in Madison with our fur baby, Kirra! In my free time I love to read and bake for friends and family! Some of my favorite things are books, coffee, treats, and anything Disney!
I am very much looking forward to getting to know all of our EC families.

I am excited about starting my 22nd year in the school district as a Speech-Language Pathologist!
I live in Madison with my husband, Jim. I have two daughters who live in Milwaukee. When I am not working, I love to read, garden, travel, bake and hang with my family and friends.
I have been working with preschoolers for 32 years and am always excited to watch them grow and talk!

This will be my 18th year working as a Speech-Language Pathologist in the School District of Fort Atkinson. I work at Early Childhood/4K half-time and at the middle school half-time.
While working with young children, I really love singing, reading, making crafts and playing games to help build their language and work on their speech sound goals! I live in the country near Fort Atkinson with my husband and daughter. Outside of school, I enjoy gardening, reading, hiking, and traveling. I love everything Wisconsin, especially the Packers and Brewers! My favorite foods are anything I can grow in my garden and pizza.

This will be my 22nd year working as the Physical Therapist in the Fort Atkinson Schools.
I live in Madison with my husband Phil and 15 year old daughter Dora. We enjoy spending time as a family taking in the sights of southern WI including going to the farmers market, Mallards games and walking our dog Cubby. My current favorite food is summer squash and raspberries as they are going like crazy in my yard. During the school year we cheer on the Badgers and hopefully get to continue to say Go Cubs into October!!

But, the kids call me Miss T!
This is my 6th year working for SDFA, and it's my first year working in Early Childhood. I'm so excited to be joining in the fun!
My favorite part of being an OT is seeing how students learn and grow through play! These are a few of my other favorite things: chocolate, horses, traveling, Netflix, and exploring nature by hiking, kayaking, or biking. A good book at the beach is pretty great too.
I’m looking forward to meeting all the EC students and families!
