Deb committed to entering the field of recovery after experiencing the gift and profound freedom recovery brings. She began as a volunteer at a recovery center in CT and then worked as an emergency department recovery coach, later received training as a peer support professional. Deb recently designed curriculum for peer support training certification. As a student of history and political science she taught social studies, later moving into the adult literacy field as an educator and administrator. Deb has always focused on a person-centered, interdisciplinary approach with a passionate belief in an individual’s capacity to grow in relationship and connection. New to Vermont and feeling a sense of home upon entering the center for the first time, she is thrilled to join The Turning Point Center team as Administrative Manager.
