How long have you worked in the school?
I have been a guidance counselor here for 24 years. I have been at MVRHS for 39 years! Before starting my career at MVRHS, I worked at the Tisbury School for a year. I have also worked as a school librarian and as a special education teacher. I graduated from MVRHS!

We didn’t have lacrosse and girls’ soccer. We had track and field, field hockey, girls and boys basketball teams, football, boys soccer, and baseball.
Do you still keep in touch with your friends?
I get to work with three of the people that I went to school with: Mary McDonald, head of guidance, who was a year behind me; Bonnie Tilton, guidance director secretary, who was two years behind me; and Cindy Grant, administrative support personnel, who was three years behind me.
What is your favorite thing about working in the high school?
All the people that I have met of all ages and backgrounds. That’s why I do what I do!
