I come from a public education family — my parents met when they both taught at the same public middle school in 1967. They went on to serve as public school educators and administrators for a combined 70 years. So the value of public education was deeply ingrained in me right from the start. Today, I build on my parents’ legacy as I look to support my own children and those in the wider Rye community.
Professionally, I am a Partner at Brightspot Consultants, a local, women-owned business that supports nonprofit organizations with strategic planning and fundraising. I volunteer as a youth soccer coach, and as an advisor to the NH Charitable Foundation. Previously, I served on the Rye School Building Use Committee (examining enrollment trends and identifying strategic options for our facilities), as a youth mentor through NH Outright, and as a Grants Committee Member for the Rye Education Foundation.
Outside of work and volunteer activities, I can be found on the sidelines of a youth soccer or basketball game, surfing at Cable Beach, or walking my very large dog in the Rye Town Forest.
