About me
I am Associate Director of Admission here at the college and I work with prospective students from New England and the Mid-Atlantic States as well as all of New York. Everyday on my way over to work I think to myself that I live in one of the most beautiful places in the world!
Winter has arrived here in the mountains and we in the admission office are enjoying cold mornings and mostly sunny days.
So here is a little about me:
Sunshine, Ocean breezes, being in-around-by-on the water, playing, good coffee (with cream and sugar), Family and Friends (especially my son, Spencer), our two dogs: Kai and Jazzy, Smiles and laughter, music, good books, quiet days outdoors with some napping and relaxing involved (oh, wait that was before Spencer was born), traveling, and the unknown are a few of the things that make me tick.
A few of my Favorite places (aside from the mountains of Western North Carolina)
- The Outer Cape of Cape Cod
- All of Vermont
- Several of the Oceans and Seas of the World (Sea of Cortez, the Pacific in Mexico and California, the North Atlantic of off Cape Cod and Maine, The Atlantic off of Southern Florida, the Indian off of Sri Lanka, the Caribbean off of Honduras).
- Ladakh, India
- Todos Santos, Baja Mexico

- A certain Virgin Island
