Deb began working at the IOD in 2009 as staff for YES, a youth advocacy group for high school students focused on increasing inclusion awareness for all. In 2010, she joined the New Hampshire Leadership Series team, where she supported her team, organized, and built meaningful connections with participants. Deb is a 2006 graduate of the NH Leadership Series.

In 2017, she graduated from the NH/ME LEND program as a family trainee, further strengthening her leadership skills and deepening her knowledge of neurodevelopmental disabilities. Deb served as Coordinator of the NH Leadership Series until 2023, when she transitioned to the UNH Education Department as Program Coordinator of the UNH School of Mental Health Graduate Program—an innovative interdisciplinary offering between the COLA Department of Education and the CHHS Department of Social Work.

She has since returned to the IOD and now works with the Bridges team. Deb is excited to continue this important work and remain connected to the IOD community.
