Brief Biography
A midwesterner at heart, the northeast has been home for most of my life. I was fortunate to have the most incredible high school experience at a small boarding school that challenged me as a student and strengthened my leadership. Those four years ultimately inspired my career path working with young people in educational settings through third spaces and schools. Since moving to Vermont, I spent 11 years with Camp Kiniya as Leadership Development Director and most recently served as the CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Vergennes. My husband and I met while working summers at Camp Dudley and we live nearby with our dog, Roscoe. We love being in Vermont surrounded by beautiful scenery, kind people, and delicious food!
