Michelle has a passion for science and education that is evident in both her professional and personal life. She has worked in the pharmaceutical industry for 30+ years managing clinical trial conduct, including her current position with Bayer. She serves as a docent at the Science Center and is thrilled to extend her service to the Science Center by becoming a trustee. She has two sons who reside in Phoenix, AZ with whom she visits often. Michelle lives only a few miles away from the Science Center with her husband Chris and Italian mastiff Luca Brasi. She and Luca enjoy hiking through the woods searching for clues from wild neighbors who recently passed by. During football season you will find Michelle cheering (loudly) for her hometown team - the Buffalo Bills.
Carol is a retired senior retail executive with experience in both corporate finance and human resources. She and her family were introduced to the Squam region as “campers” at Rockywold-Deephaven Camps in 2001. From 2013 to 2022, Carol served on the Camps’ board of directors as vice president and as chair of its finance committee. She continues to serve on the buildings and grounds committee and the nominating committee there. Previously, Carol served as a trustee and treasurer for a Massachusetts-based music and arts education organization. Carol and her husband Malcolm spend as much time as they can at their home in Holderness, and otherwise call Duxbury, Massachusetts home. - Year in review by Executive Director Iain MacLeod
