Heather moved to the Adirondack coast a few years ago from her hometown of 50 years Duxbury,Mass. She fell in love with Lake Champlain and the Adirondacks while studying theatre at at Lawrence university. Her husband and three children spent their summers vacationing in the area for the past twenty years. With so many businesses going completely remote during Covid, it gave them the opportunity to move up here full-time.
Her professional background includes 20 years as an executive at high-tech market in firms, 10 years as a professional lacrosse coach, and prior to moving North a producer and Director of musicals for middle school students.
The transition to ADK was smooth one for all involved especially their herd of Alpacas who had never seen such expansive green pastures. Heather quickly adapted to small Adirondack town living and is now fully immersed in a variety of non-profits and activities. She was instrumental in bringing some new life to the Essex Theatre Company this past year by producing their first annual Talent Show as well as joining their board of directors. And this past August produced the original musical production ‘Sounds Like’
Heather works for Berkshire Hathaway as a licensed real estate based in Keene Valley. When she’s not with buyers or sellers; you can spot her at The Grange’s Thursday night Jam sessions, strumming her Ukulele and sometimes storytelling at Whitcombs open mike. During summer months she dedicates most of her spare time to producing or performing various shows at the Essex Theatre. If weather permits she enjoys to sail her tiny boat around Lake Champlain. She’s known to eat an entire dogwood pizza in one sitting.
