Growing up, I moved frequently across the country, living in Michigan, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts. Some of my fondest memories are of exploring the woods, fields, and coastlines in search of local wildlife.

I currently live in Portland with my husband, our four children, and our two rescue dogs, Kippy and Jack. In my free time, I enjoy reading, gardening, listening to history podcasts, and taking dance classes.

I have over 12 years of experience in maternal and newborn nursing and occasionally work at a local hospital, helping families during this significant life transition. I have also volunteered with the Red Cross of Maine, providing disaster relief services to those in need.

My connection to Chewonki began in high school when I attended the Outdoor Classroom and discovered my passion for canoeing, camping, and sustainable living. As a registered nurse at Maine Coast Semester at Chewonki, I combine my love for healthcare and education, supporting the health and well-being of students during this transformative experience.
