I am thrilled to join the Amesbury Rotary Club. I believe that Rotary is a wonderful way to not only serve my community, but to be part of a larger network of amazing individuals working towards the goal to improve the lives of others both locally and nationally.
I started my career as a Registered Nurse working in hospitals, long term care facilities, community services, and then began working as a visiting nurse where I found my passion. I worked for over ten years at the former Home Health Care of Greater Newburyport. In that role I managed training programs for home health aides and coordinated the home health aide services for the agency. I raised my 2 daughters in Newburyport and I very much enjoyed being part of the Greater Newburyport Community.
I went on to receive a Master’s Degree in Health Care Administration from New England College in Henniker, NH. My husband and I moved to New Hampshire to pursue our love of the outdoors, for hiking, kayaking, swimming, biking, and gardening. We have both completed hiking all of the NH 4000-foot mountains and received our patches from the NH 4000 Foot Mountain Club.
While in New Hampshire I began working as Director of Connecticut Valley Home Care in Newport ,NH. It was while working at that agency that I was first introduced to Rotary and was a member of the Newport Rotary club for 7 years. I felt I was then recruited to serve as the Executive Director of North Country Home Health and Hospice in Littleton, NH. I joined the Littleton Rotary while in that role.
After working in Littleton for almost 5 years. We returned to Massachusetts and purchased a home in Amesbury, Mass, and I began a new position as Clinical Director at the Visiting Nurse agency, Circle Home in Lowell. I joined the Lowell Rotary Club while in that role

Currently I work for the Community College System of New Hampshire coordinating their Allied Health training programs.  I work part time at Great Bay Community College in Portsmouth, NH. I enjoy this part time role, and that I am able to once again devote time to be a Rotarian
