What is your role at COAST?

I manage TripLink, a regional transportation call center that takes trip requests on behalf of COAST, Community Action Partnership of Strafford County, Community Rides, Ready Rides, and Rockingham Nutrition & Meals on Wheels. I also provide staffing for the Alliance for Community Transportation, a regional council that works to expand and improve community transportation services in our region.

What is your first memory of public transit?

Other than riding the school bus, my first use of public transportation was using the trains and buses in France during my semester abroad.

What is something unique about you?

I live on an organic vegetable farm in Brentwood where I drive tractors, manage a small orchard, and repair stone walls.

What is one thing you love about your career?

I love knowing that my work has improved access to health care and quality of life for seniors and individuals with disabilities throughout the greater Seacoast.

What is one thing everyone should know about COAST?
