After receiving my Master’s in Communication Disorders from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, I came back to NH after being away for several years. I worked at Crotched Mountain School in Greenfield, NH for 10 years and then spent 9 years in Pembroke working with K-1 students. I joined NBCS in 2018 and have enjoyed every day. I’m looking forward to another great year!
