I am delighted to be joining the Direction Center in 2020 as the new Lead Counselor after working at both Burlington and South Burlington High Schools.  I am excited to be joining such a capable and veteran staff.  When I am not working here, I teach pat time at UVM and enjoy being outside as much as possible - walking, hiking, boating and just hanging out.  I live in Burlington where I had a hand in raising four now adults and enjoy the morning commute to CVU.
