She was recognized as part of the All-ACC and All-American teams. From 2001-2012, Swensen was a goalkeeper for the Team USA hockey team.

Swensen lives in Virginia Beach, VA with her husband, Mark, her two sons, Ivan (age 6) and Zeke (age 3), and their Mastiff dog, Floyd. She enjoys working out, reading, and spending time at the beach with her family. The things that Swensen most appreciated about her time at NL were the “wonderful caring teachers and coaches. I miss the country now that I’m living in Virginia Beach. I really miss running on back roads; it’s so beautiful in PA!” The following is Swensen’s advice for current students: Do what you love; love what you do.”
