Project Manager
I graduated from CCV with a Liberal Arts degree in 1999. I completed my Bachelor’s Degree in 2002 with a double major in Education & Mathematics. I earned my 2015 Master’s Degree in Education graduate. I spent many years in the customer service and education fields but was happy to return to CCV as a staff member in 2007 as an administrative assistant. I worked for over twelve years as a program assistant for workforce education. I am now privileged to be the Project Manager at Vermont State University for the Center for Workforce & Professional Education (CWPE). Our team’s mission is to educate Vermont’s unemployed and under-employed masses through micro-credentialing and noncredit opportunities. I am a Microsoft Office Specialist and proficient with all Microsoft platforms. I continue to use and sharpen my educational background as a professor in all Mathematical areas and Spreadsheets.
