Education is my passion. I have worked in higher education for 20 years and love being able to use some of that knowledge and experience in my role as a board member. In addition to my board work, I announce the varsity baseball and JV football games at Dorchester Academy. I also work closely with administration, staff, and other stakeholders to ensure that Dorchester Academy is a premier educational experience.
