I am so excited to be joining VTAAC and to get to know and work with each of you. My first day was June 21 and I have since begun diving in to all the incredible work that you have accomplished and the great work ahead. I’ve started to meet with various VTAAC members and partners and would be happy to meet with others too. If you would like to connect, please reach out. We can use Zoom or, if it makes sense, we can meet in-person for a sunny walk or a cup of coffee.
A little background on myself: I previously worked at the Children’s Hospital at Dartmouth-Hitchcock as the Event & Project Coordinator. There I spent much of my time community building, program managing and planning our largest fundraiser (CHaD HERO). I also oversaw the CHaD Ambassador Program, which is comprised of a group of CHaD kids and their families who represent CHaD at events and fundraisers. Before CHaD, I ran the state-wide volunteer program at the Vermont Foodbank. I love mountain biking, Nordic skiing and just (re)learned how to downhill ski this past winter! Having called Vermont home since I was 12, I care deeply about this state and the health and well-being of its people. I can’t wait to continue building community and working with you all to reduce the burden of cancer in VT.
