Brief Biography
I’m a native Vermonter with a dose of wanderlust. I’ve lived in 7 different states (Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York and now Vermont) as well as stints abroad in London and St. Andrews, Scotland. My professional career has spanned startups, healthcare, and institutions of higher learning.
Prior to VCS, I was the Employment Manager and Manager of Spouse/Partner Resources at Williams College. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to lead many entrepreneurial and community efforts including a collaborative workspace, business incubator, edible school garden, street festival and annual fun run.
