District B

Caroline (she/her/hers), is the senior writer for institutional marketing communications and the District B representative for Middlebury Staff Council. The Mar/Com team is based in Painter House (the one next to the traffic circle in town, not the residence hall on campus), where they work mostly remotely.  

Caroline joined Middlebury eight years ago after 15 years as the editorial director at Saint Michael’s College and two years as a consultant on marketing projects at Champlain College. She’s a New York City native who impulsively moved to Burlington, Vermont, 30 years ago from Staten Island, thinking she would stay for a year. “It was the least thought-out decision I ever made, and it completely changed the trajectory of my life—definitely for the better!”  

She joined Staff Council in 2023 and serves on the communications committee. Why did she join? “I was on the Staff Welfare Committee at St. Mike’s and I was looking to find a similar way to serve at Middlebury. When we had an opening for the representative in our district, I was encouraged to run! So far, it’s been great—I’m enjoying making new connections and feeling like I am making a difference.”  

Her favorite Middlebury tip is to visit the New Releases section in the Davis Family Library. “There are so many great books to borrow. Our library is a fantastic resource for staff, and wandering around the stacks is a great way to de-stress and clear your mind.” 

Caroline lives in Burlington with her husband, Brian, and two spoiled cats. Her son Carl is a recent UVM graduate and her daughter Liz is a junior at Middlebury.
