Caitlin joined the Rockingham community in early 2021 and quickly found and fell in love with the Meeting House. She became a seasonal docent as soon as an opportunity to join the team presented itself; and after one season, was thrilled to be able to join the Rockingham Meeting House Association Board of Directors as its Secretary. Caitlin grew up in Bergen County NJ, about 15 minutes outside of Manhattan, and has since lived in NH, NY, CO & CA before settling in Bellows Falls, VT. She has worked in cultural, informal, arts and museum education for more than twenty years now, and has a special place in her heart reserved for summer day camps. Outside of work, Caitlin enjoys puzzles, baking, wandering in the woods and along the water’s edges, renovating her new old house, traveling, seeing as much live music as she possibly can, and trying to better understand her black rescue cat, Walt Khitman.
