Executive Director, Shelburne Craft School. I am delighted to help lead Shelburne Craft School and be part of the beauty and joy created by such an incredible community of artists. I have held widely varying Non Profit leadership positions throughout my career and serving, small, magical communities has been a heartbeat of my life's work. I hold a BA and an MA in history and an EdD in Educational Leadership and Policy Studies. Throughout my life I have enjoyed creative pursuits and delight in the notion of working and creating in this community. Thinking of building and executing a vision with the Shelburne Craft School community and board brings me great excitement. I live in Shelburne with my husband, Ben, who is an artist, our daughter, Rosie, who is six.

Raised in Shelburne

I was born and raised well below the Mason Dixon in the state of Alabama and have slowly made my way up north following graduate school, living in D.C. for a few years before landing in Vermont in the summer of 2016. Soon after moving, I quickly fell in love with the rich sense of community and culture that the place offers and have happily called Vermont my home ever sense. My undergraduate coursework focused heavily on studio art while also balancing a good dose of performing art--dance in particular. Now I spend my days working as an occupational therapist with a focus on spinal cord injury rehabilitation. However, I still hold the creative arts closely as a hobby and passion and look forward to exploration and education through the courses offered at Shelburne Craft School.
