Brookfield woman returns to Greendale roots to run for office.  (Brookfield Patch, 6/14/2012)

Excerpt: After teaching in Milwaukee Public Schools for six years, Vincent joined the Elmbrook School District for one year, teaching sixth grade at Brookfield Elementary School. Greendale Middle School Principal Charlie Herman recruited her to leave Elmbrook and join the Greendale School District, where she taught from 1996 to 2002. 

"I was crying because I knew I had a good thing, who walks away from Elmbrook Schools?" Vincent said. "I did because I wanted to give back to Greendale, which gave me everything." 

She moved to the Waukesha School District in 2002 and later worked as a substitute teacher for various districts, as a teacher at a Milwaukee Catholic school and this year, as a gifted and talented specialist in Merton. 

A mother of two children, Vincent obtained her master's degree in education from Silver Lake College in Manitowoc and is a freshman girls softball coach at Brookfield East High School. She volunteers at several places, including the Elmbrook Humane Society, with her pet therapy dog and is finishing her last ticket toward earning her Wood Badge, the most advanced training for Boy Scout leaders. 

"I am not a politician. I am a teacher," she said. "I'm not a union teacher, I'm not in a union at all. I've worked in public, private and charter schools."
