โ€œTeresaโ€™s dedication to building strong relationships and facilitating open dialogue was instrumental in creating a supportive working environment for all,โ€ said Dr. Greg Kabara, superintendent of Nicolet Union High School.

Wadzinski now oversees a team of more than 40 architects and designers. โ€œTeresa has created an environment where team members genuinely want to stay and grow,โ€ said Maclain Schramm, project manager and associate at EUA.
