 I’m incredibly excited to be joining the Adaptive Sports Partners team as the Jay Peak program manager! I’m an NEK native and recently moved back to Vermont from Boston after working for an adaptive exercise program in the Spaulding Rehab network. I had a very gratifying three years working in the hospital setting and am now thrilled for the change of scenery and an opportunity to share my passion for skiing and riding! In my free time, I love running, reading fantasy novels, and spending time with my black lab Dougal. Very much looking forward to getting to know all of you and fingers crossed the snowfall continues as it has this past week!
