Dorothy and her family have called Northumberland home for over 20 years and cherish their home nestled in the Northumberland forest. Dorothy currently teaches business and leadership to students at Cobourg Collegiate Institute, as well as being part of the CCI Senior Boys Basketball coaching team. Her greatest joy is welcoming CCI grads to share their business successes with her current students.

Prior to teaching, Dorothy gained the business skills she shares with students by working as an employee benefits and pension specialist, a wealth and estate planning counsellor, marketing in the healthcare sector, as well as having run many small businesses over three decades.
