Biography

 Several years ago, my husband and I made a commitment to get healthy for ourselves, and for our family.  We changed the way we ate, started exercising and consequently lost weight and felt better.  About a year later, we decided to start to eat more organically and naturally, and started shopping at the Co-op regularly.  Though we went on occasion, we made a commitment to eat as locally as we could, and purchased a membership to the Co-op. We live in Concord, I shop regularly at the Co-op, enjoy being involved in my community, and truly believe in what the Co-op represents. I am currently the Senior Vice President, Human Resources at The Granite Group, headquartered on Storrs Street in Concord. As a Human Resources professional with over 20 years of experience in HR, I bring strong knowledge of HR issues.  As a strategic business professional, I have worked in various companies alongside the CEO, CFO and other senior professionals to drive the business forward, and connect the people to the mission, vision and values of the company. I understand the importance of health and wellness not only in my companies (in my past two companies, we have undergone major transformations in the wellness programs), but also in families.  As parents of three, my husband and I try to ensure our kids eat as locally as possible, and as healthy as possible.  Often an uphill battle, but we keep trying!
