I began working for Grafton School District in 1999 and am currently the Director of Technology and District Assessment Coordinator. Formerly I taught computer lab class and music in the Chicago Public Schools from 1993 - 1999 after graduating from Northwestern University with a Master of Music Education and Music Performance. My degree emphasis was music education through technology. I also received a Bachelor of Music degree from UW-Madison and remain active as a performing musician in Wisconsin and Illinois. In my role as District Assessment Coordinator, I have sought to create instructional data from our state Forward Exam and freely share a template with all districts in Wisconsin that allows schools to measure student performance by standard on the Foward Exam.  All three of my children are Grafton High School graduates and are pursuing their life goals being well equipped with a quality education from the Grafton School District.
