I began my career in politics. I worked as a district office manager for a New York State Assemblyman and went on to receive a Masters in Public Administration from the University of Vermont. After graduation, I worked as a senior policy analyst for Governor Howard Dean. Wanting a change from politics, I became a bicycle tour leader for Vermont Bicycle Touring, then started a marketing and community building business with clients throughout New England.

I have worked as a FEMA Reservist. I have volunteered at a Mother Teresa center for children with disabilities in Lima, Peru and have also spent time as a volunteer, rebuilding houses after Hurricane Katrina in Biloxi, Mississippi. I have served as a multi-media storyteller for children with significant disabilities at a school in New Hampshire.

In November 2019, I traveled to Bhutan with 13 adventurers from across the world exploring spirituality and photography in this remote, beautiful country.

In May 2022, I began a new adventure as Director of Parish Life at Christ The King Parish in Concord, New Hampshire. It is an amazing life.
