Personal

I served as Treasurer of the Board of Directors for Bridge School, an independent K-6 in Middlebury, for two years, and was also on the Steering Committee of Mountain River Sangha, a non-denominational community of Buddhist practitioners in Bristol, for four years.  I currently serve as Treasurer of the Board of the Auxiliary of Porter Medical Center.

I grew up in Middlebury, VT but after graduating high school, spent a year in Germany as an exchange student, after which I moved to New York City for college, then later to the San Francisco Bay Area for graduate school and work.  After my son was born, I transferred to Boston to be closer to my family.  Finally, I spent two years living and working in Zürich before returning to Vermont with my son, Henry.

When I'm not working with clients, I'm likely spending time with my 14-year-old son, Henry, and our two cats, Bernie and Calvin.  I also practice meditation and yoga and enjoy swimming, skiing, hiking and running.
