Meet Virginia

I joined the Working Bridges team in January 2024 to come along side community members at their workplace and help them navigate the many resources available. Growing up in Chittenden County I have seen the many changes and challenges people living and working here face.

My education includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology (St Michael’s College, 1993) and a master’s in counseling (Johnson State College, now Northern Vermont University, 2012). Previously I worked as the assistant director of a childcare center, a program manager at Howard Center Developmental Services and, most recently, the program director at the ANEW Place Community House sober shelter and transitional housing program. I enjoy helping people to identify the various options they have, particularly regarding finances.

I live in Jericho with my husband and our two dogs. When not at work, you will find me reading, cooking, kayaking, or camping.
