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

For the last seven years Domenica primarily worked in the medical field and with at risk youth but always knew in the back of her mind that she would find her way home, to the Plymouth State again.

Chris Lee - Residence Director (pdf)

Belknap Hall
(603)535-2283
c_lee@plymouth.edu

I was born and raised in Wellesley, Massachusetts which is a town about 15 miles west of Boston. After graduating from high school I decided to take some time off before going straight into college. During that year I moved to Harwich, Massachusetts on Cape Cod and worked as a stone carver. I worked on architectural pieces such as window sills and other decorative elements for buildings all over the northeast. Besides being a stone carver I also tested out other odd jobs like installing sprinkler systems for home owners and small businesses. Once the year had ended I began my college career at what was then known as Plymouth State College. I graduated from Plymouth with my Bachelors in Fine Arts in 2005 and then with my Masters of Arts in Teaching for Art Education in 2006.

Since then I have working in the field of Residential Life at other colleges and universities such as Castleton State College in Castleton, Vermont and New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Plymouth has been a wonderful part of my life, even marking the location of my wedding. I hope that I can help make it a wonderful part of all of the residents’ lives that I get to meet here from now on as well. My wife and I are both Alumni of Plymouth State University and are glad to call Plymouth our home once again.

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.
