Biography

Growing up around boarding school campuses in Avon, Connecticut, taught me the values of community, tradition and educational excellence. Coming to Exeter immediately felt like home, and I am honored to help advance the mission of the Academy through my role in Institutional Advancement. As a member of The Exeter Fund team, I manage volunteer committees for the 30th, 25th, 20th and 15th Reunion classes, as well as non-reunion classes around their annual fundraising and participation goals.  As a member of the PEA community, I had the privilege to serve as Class Advisor to the Class of 2020.

Before Exeter, I worked for the Harvard Business School, where I supported reunion volunteers around both fundraising and participation goals, leadership gift initiatives domestically and globally, and planned giving resources for alumni classes. After HBS, I joined Southern New Hampshire University, where I managed leadership gifts and targeted fundraising campaigns to grow the annual fund. As an alumni volunteer for my own alma mater, Boston College, I appreciate serving in the role that I help to manage at Exeter, and am grateful for the opportunity to give back in a meaningful way.

As an outdoor enthusiast, you can find me exploring our beautiful local coastal towns, adventuring the PEA trails, or running and cycling throughout the seacoast. Most of all, I love spending time with my husband Sean, our two young daughters, and our two black labs.
