Michelle Swinden - IBM Corporation (Human Resources)
Class of 1989
"I grew up with HKHS - my father Russ taught at the school from the day it was built as an Annexe to Gosford High School and retired from HKHS as the Admin Master. My mother Barbara worked in both the front office and for Angela Glover in the Careers Advice area. My brother Greg and I were both students at the school.
After leaving HKHS in 1989, I completed my Honours Degree in Psychology, and found my way to work at IBM, where I have been ever since. I've had the great fortune to have a varied and interesting career in Human Resources - particularly the past decade in managing aspects of Employment and Labour Relations in Asia and educating IBM HR employees on a global basis. I also have a wonderful husband and two sons - a 16 year old & a 13 year old."
