I was born and raised in Vermont. I’m a native, actually born here in Middlebury. I have a husband and two children. My daughter is 21, my son is 14. My daughter is working at the bank in town, the National Bank of Middlebury. My son is a freshman in high school. It’s very exciting to keep up with him. One of my passions actually, lately, my main passion is making cheesecakes. I do professional New York style looking decorated cheesecakes. It just started as just a little hobby. I do them for family, occasions, Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter. And now they come to depend on it. It’s like, “Chrissy what are you making for cheesecakes this year?” I’d like to eventually start selling them… They’re delicious, it’s wonderful, I enjoy doing it. It is time consuming but the look on people’s faces when they see them and then when they eat them, it’s just well worth it. I’ve been with my husband since 1987, so we’ve been together 31 years. It’s a, pretty incredible, big journey. Before starting here, I’ve only been at the college for about 7 months, I worked in an office at an administrative level, so I’ve done everything from scheduling, to reception… to bookkeeping, to receivables, to payables etc. and I got to the point where I was tired of answering the phone, listening to everyone’s complaints, and this opportunity came up and I jumped on it. It was a little decrease in my pay but it’s so worth it – to come in every morning and see all the students. They come in and they’re grumpy and they see me and their eyes and face light up and I absolutely love it and it’s just wonderful. The people I work with here at Atwater are phenomenal. We’re so like so cohesive, there’s not a lot of tension, everybody gets along, which is great. I’ve worked at the other dining halls and not so much. There’s occasionally a little bit of rivalry going on and just sniping. But here is perfect and I’m so glad I found this place and found all of you. I don’t know if you noticed but I know the names to a lot of the kids that come in and they appreciate that. My crosswords, you’ll see me do them every day. And it’s really cool is that… some of the students bought me one and another one for Christmas. So, they keep up on it and they know my interests and it’s just fun. And I’m 50 and I got to a point in my life where I really don’t want a lot of stress, I just want to coast along until I retire, which I am going to do shortly, hopefully. But not too soon. But other than that, that’s me in a nutshell.
