Career highlight: The career highlight I’m most proud of is clerking for a federal judge in the Eastern District of New York.

Community involvement: My community involvement includes being elected to numerous positions in my small town, including as the Vice Chair of the Select Board and serving on the school board. My husband and I also run the food pantry in our town.

Motivation for living and working in Vermont: My family has been living on the same land for 6 generations. I wanted to come back and help my community thrive.

Favorite part of your job: My favorite part of my job is helping Vermont employers navigate challenges that the face. Local companies are the backbone of our economy and vital to our communities, and I enjoy helping them thrive.

Tell us something fun about yourself that few people know: 

Few people know that I was once named the Princess of the Magic Kingdom for a day at Walt Disney World.

Favorite Vermont escape: My favorite Vermont escape is Lake Willoughby.

Favorite social media: My favorite social media is Tik Tok. My husband and I post about our Little Free Pantry and it went viral, which has allowed us to continue to run the pantry through generous online donations.
