Originally from northern New Jersey, I came to Vermont in 1990 to study at Vermont Law School Prior to that time I was an actor and acting teacher with home in New York City. My degrees are in radio and television (B.A., Michigan State University, 1972), acting (M.F.A., Pennsylvania State University, 1975), and law (J.D., Vermont Law School 1994).

I am Magna Cum Laude from Vermont Law School, Articles Editor of the Vermont Law Review (1992-93), and a former clerk to Justice Ernest W. Gibson, III, at the Vermont Supreme Court (1993-1994).

Following my term as a clerk for Justice Gibson, I joined the Windham County State's Attorney's Office as a Deputy State's Attorney. I worked there as a criminal prosecutor from 1994 to 1999, after which I joined the local law firm of Fisher & Fisher. My experience at Fisher & Fisher took me into civil practice, and I have enjoyed the wide range of human issues and dilemmas that the civil area of practice presents. I opened my own office in 2001 and have helped many clients in the last six years as a sole practitioner.

My passion for theater and the arts still burns strong. I am a long-time board member and past president of the Brattleboro Arts Initiative and currently also a member of WVEW-LP FM, Brattleboro's community non-profit radio station.
