[post_content] => A Derryfield alumna of the class of 1987, Kathleen received a B.A. in English from Hobart and William Smith Colleges. She happily rejoined her alma mater in 1996, and since that time has been involved in the Philanthropy & Engagement and Admission efforts in a variety of capacities, acted as a student advisor, and coached middle school girls lacrosse.
In the summer of 2021, Kathleen became the Director of Enrollment and External Affairs, a role that blends 25 years of experience at Derryfield in admission, fundraising, alumni, and marketing. She claims that the best thing about her position is "sitting in the crow's nest" and witnessing the full scope of a Derryfield student's life unfold--from prospective student to student to alumni--and being involved at every stage.
Mother to Miles '17 and Parker '21, Kathleen spends her spare time living the life of a domestic diva: cooking, baking, gardening, and obsessing over the bluebirds in the backyard. Bucket list accomplishments include three marathons, the Mount Washington Road Race, a trip to China to recruit international students, and skydiving. What's next?
