I began teaching in Whitewater in the fall of 1993 after graduating from UW Oshkosh with a major in secondary education mathematics and a minor in computer science. Teaching was the only thing I ever wanted to do, and in choosing this career I followed in the footsteps of two of my older sisters. Whitewater was the perfect choice for me. The creativity and willingness to innovate on the part of the staff along with the wonderful feeling of community immediately made Whitewater feel like home. I couldn't think of a better place to be!

Annually, the National Center for Women and Information Technology honors young women who show an interest and promise for a future in computer science. Each fall, female and non-binary students are encouraged to apply for the award at aspirations.org. Award winners become part of an incredible support network that can enhance the availability of future opportunities in the field. Pictured with Ms. Masbruch are 2022 award winners Guin Yeager and Brooke Bazeley.
