Education

Background

As an undergraduate at Pomona College, I was involved in Residential Life, Student Government and was a two sport varsity athlete (swimming and women’s water polo.) After graduating, I worked at Newbury College in Brookline, MA before returning to my alma mater and spending 7 years as the Associate Dean of Campus Life. In 2007 my husband and I decided that we wanted to return to New England and we feel very fortunate to be part of the Bowdoin Community.  Outside of work, I like to spend as much time as possible with my family - enjoying the busy life of a parent of 3 fun kids.
