I obtained an Associate’s degree from Champlain College in 1986, majoring in Accounting. In 1991, I obtained my Associate's degree in Paralegal Studies, again from Champlain College. Since that time, I have worked in several large law firms in Burlington, except for a brief stint at a public accounting firm. In February 2024, I started at Downs Rachlin Martin PLLC, as a Trusts and Estates Paralegal. This position allows me to combine my skills in both the accounting and legal fields.

I have been actively involved with the Vermont Paralegal Organization on and off for many years and have resumed my role as Treasurer.

In my spare time, I enjoy traveling with my husband and spending time with my children and grandchildren.
