Hello - my name is Lisa Heid and I joined the IHDF-Milwaukee team in September of 2022. I bring with me, 20 years of experience working in both the education and social sector. 16 of those years were in direct service to youth and their families in Milwaukee and the surrounding communities. I have experience as a special education teacher specializing in students with severe emotional and behabivoral disabilities. 

I am excited to continue leading the IHDF-Milwaukee team ensuring that our Dreamers and their families have what then need to be successful. I enjoy working with the Dreamers on a daily basis and building relationships with our families. I look forward to brining more experiences and opportunities to our Dreamers. 

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Educational Studies from Alverno College. I also have a Masters of Science in Community Psychology from Alverno College. 

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with family. We love walking, camping and fishing.
