I’m originally from California, but my family moved to Rumney, NH when I was a toddler. Shortly after moving to NH my father took a job at Plymouth State with Physical Plant, he would often take us on campus to watch different sporting events and before I knew it, I had fallen in love with Plymouth State. When I was in high school I couldn’t wait to graduate so that I could become a Plymouth State College student and take advantage of all the college had to offer its undergraduates. In 2001 I was proud to graduate from Plymouth earning degrees in both Athletic Training and Physical Education.

For the last seven years I primarily worked in the medical field but always knew in the back of my mind I would find my way home, to the Plymouth State again. I am extremely honored to be the Residence Director in Pemigewasset Hall where I live with my husband Bill, little pug Jake and soon to arrive our first child Domenic.

I am proud to be part of the Residential Life team here at PSU. I’m honored to be the Langdon Woods Manager and look forward to what the future will bring for our community.

Having been at Plymouth State for my undergraduate years, it is great to be living and working on a campus and with people so special to me! I graduated with a B.A. in English and Humanities and then moved to Minnesota where I was a Residence Director for five years at St. Cloud State University. While there, I completed my M.S. in Social Responsibility. My family and I later moved to the Keene State College campus where I was a Residence Director for one year. During the summer of 2006, I finally made my way back ‘home’ to the PSU campus and the Department of Residential Life.

You will see me around campus and in the building with my family. My son, Cabot, daughter, Logan, and husband, Bruce enjoy exploring campus, getting to know students, and taking part in what campus and the local area have to offer.
