International Trade

​​GMO

I am a senior international trader that specializes in global equities, swaps, futures and options. I have been in the investment industry for thirty years, trading at several prestigious and diverse firms. Currently, I am a 14-year senior trader at Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo (GMO), working the European shift (2am-noon est) trading across asset classes. GMO is an investment management firm that partners with an impressive roster of sophisticated clients globally. 

Outside of work, I have a busy family life with four children - all four have either graduated or are current students at UVM - and two sheepdogs. While we live north of Boston, we spend a lot of time in Vermont, including the Sugarbush Valley. An outdoor enthusiast, I enjoy all activities and all seasons including boating, hiking, swimming, skiing and snow shoeing. I am also a dedicated yogi and a part-time artist. I am excited to join UVM’s Women in Leadership Certificate Program as an advisor.
