Bio: My home is in Hampden where my husband Jim and I are the proud parents of two children, Mitchell and Mabel. We enjoy fishing, sports, and the occasional dance party. I was fortunate to have been elected to the Board in 2014, and the opportunity has afforded me a view into our students’ education at RSU22 that leaves me proud and amazed at the dedication of our teachers, staff and administrators. My goal is to support our students continued growth, and provide youth with the support and individualized attention they need to reach their goals.
