Christy Swenson spent almost 20 years providing direct service for children and families. She began her career as a speech-language pathologist working for a rural hospital that held the contract for birth-to-three services for the county. She provided the services for that contract through home visiting and a preschool program, as well as providing outpatient therapy to a mostly preschool population. She then worked in the school system, where she developed specialties in autism spectrum disorder and developmental verbal dyspraxia. When Christy joined Capstone Head Start three years ago, she continued working with families, teachers, and home visitors before moving into the Head Start director role, providing support to staff working directly with children and families. Christy lives in Montpelier with her two teenage sons.
