What an honor for me to represent the Academy for the Office of Institutional Advancement since 1995! Alumni have fascinating stories about their journeys before, during and after Exeter. Their Exeter education was usually transformative, and alumni want to give back. Matching the philanthropic interests of alumni with the Academy’s priorities is a privilege for me.
I grew up in Exeter, so I am excited to be back home. Before joining the office of Institutional Advancement, I spent six years working in the Exeter Admissions Office as an associate director of admissions, and prior to that, I spent four years at Pomfret School as assistant director of admissions and international student coordinator. Before working at Pomfret School, I worked in the front office at Major League Lacrosse and the Boston Celtics.
