Ms. Ali Wasko
Hello!
A little about myself ... I grew up in Vermont and graduated from UVM. I have been a nurse for a total of 10 years. I have worked in many different settings, from being a bedside nurse at UVM Medical Center to a nurse manager at an outpatient mental health facility. This is my fourth year as a school nurse and I absolutely love working in a school!
I have two children, one who is in elementary school and the other who just entered her last year of preschool. I am so excited to get to know everyone in this community!
If you have any questions/concerns please feel free to reach out!
