She has worked in the field of Education for over 30 years in both K-12 and higher education, focused in the areas of student development, faith formation, college counseling, admissions, and school relations. She is a native of Massachusetts and lives in Hamilton with her husband, Chris, and they are delighted to have their two adult children still living close by.
