Tell us a bit about your background and how it helped shape the expertise you bring to CAE.
I spent 20 years in financial services and tech, including leading the product management function for QuickBooks at Intuit, Inc. In 2007 I left corporate life and started Eden Specialty Ciders and Eden Orchards in West Charleston and Newport, using cider as a vehicle to support small, historic orchards in Vermont.

What excites you about your work and/or the work of CAE?
I share a deep commitment to the mission of fixing our local food systems, and hope my finance and admin skills can be helpful to achieving it.

What brings you joy? (work or otherwise)
Time with my family, being in the orchard, and cooking.

What brings you hope? (work or otherwise)
Being with all the wonderful people out there who care about our agricultural economy.
