About Me

I started my Child Nutrition career at Lincoln Community School after spending more than fifteen years at
Vermont Student Assistance Corporation, where I worked in several roles and eventually became a Loan
Analyst. I was definitely new to school nutrition and had a lot to learn!

Over the past nine years, I’ve learned a lot about what goes into providing nutritious meals to kids—from the
food itself to navigating all of the programs and requirements that come with it. I also had the opportunity to
work with Kathy Alexander for five years as her Assistant Director. Kathy has been a leader in child nutrition in
Vermont for more than two decades, and she taught me that compassion and kindness are just as important
as the food we serve.

Over the years, I’ve really come to appreciate how important school meals are to helping kids focus better
during the school day. I’m excited to continue that work as School Nutrition Co-Director alongside Paul Fucello
for Mount Abraham Unified School District and to keep learning along the way.

I’ve lived in Lincoln for the past 28 years, so this community has been home for a long time. When I’m not at
school, I love cooking with my husband, Jeremy, and getting outside with our dog, Betsy, to enjoy our great
state.
