Director of Student Services |

School counseling, career exploration and post-secondary planning -- these are my passions. I love helping students recognize their abilities and explore their interests. I joined the district in 2000 and currently lead the coordination of student services (school and college/career counseling, health, student assistance program, alternative education, community learning and social work) and special programs (AP, Pre-ACT, PSAT, SAT/ACT). My education and training includes earning a BS in Dietetics, MS in Counseling and a CAS in School Leadership. In addition, I am a certified Global Career Development Facilitator, VT State Licensed School Counselor, Work Based Learning Coordinator and Administrator and later, earned a College Counseling Certificate from UCLA.

New to the area in 2015, fond memories of my own High School days enticed me to join the CVU Direction Center team. Originally from Middlebury, I now live in South Burlington with my husband and our son. Away from the office, I enjoy cooking, playing and reading with my son, kayaking, and being with my family and friends.

Career Counselor |
|
I just love CVU! I started back here at CVU in 2014, after a sixteen-year hiatus. During my absence, I was counseling at Westford Elementary School for two years, and then spent thirteen years in Middlebury at the technical center that serves Addison County.
My role as Career Counselor encompasses several things. First of all, I facilitate the application process for students wishing to attend one of the two technical centers (Burlington or Essex) as part of their high school curriculum. Those students then transfer onto my caseload. I also teach a career planning course each semester, entitled Pathfinder. I am the site coordinator for Virtual High School and oversee the students taking this online path to education. And a few assorted other activities as well. I have a BA in English and a MS in Counseling, both from the University of Vermont. In 2012, I became certified as a Global Career Development Facilitator. I live in Hinesburg with my husband, David, who teaches here at CVU. We have three children who are all CVU alumni. |
