Director of Operations, she/her

This is my 17th year working for CASP and I was a CASP parent for six years before that.  My son, Elias, is a student at Berklee College of Music and has fond memories of both Cabot and CASP.  One of my favorite things about working at CASP is watching the enthusiasm and dedication of the staff as they prepare to work with the kids each day.  They're a fun, creative, energetic bunch and they make the program awesome!

In between my time at CASP, I worked on movies and TV shows that were filmed all around Massachusetts. In my free time, I love going to sporting events, traveling, boating, watching movies, and hanging out with friends and family.

4/5 Educator, she/her

Erica is back at CASP for somewhere around her 13th year! She has a B.S. in Counseling Psychology from Wheelock College and spends her mornings working as a Behavior Therapist at Countryside Elementary School.

In a perfect world, she’d be doing all three!
