I received my BS from Southern New Hampshire University.

Background

I have worked in Office of Residential Life since 1998 with a wide range of responsibilities over that time. Homecoming and Reunion are always a fun time to reconnect with Bowdoin and Res Life staff alums. I look forward to the day when a Res Life Alum’s child comes to Bowdoin! I live in Brunswick with my husband in a 150+ year old house that demands lots of our attention. We have two grown children who currently both live in Maine with their partners.
