Biography
After graduating from North Tahoe High School, Hilary went on to receive my BA from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with little intention to a career in education. After working in the animal welfare field, she discovered that she wanted to pursue a different path. She found my way to Boys and Girls Club of North Lake Tahoe and eventually to the TTUSD Wellness Program. She started with the Wellness Center in 2014 and have been fortunate to watch the program grow.
Professionally she have received my Masters of Social Work from Rutgers University. She am currently obtaining hours to become a Licensed Clinical Supervisor and work under TTUSD supervision.
She lives in the Tahoe area with her husband and son. She is a crafting enthusiast, mountain biker and enjoys snowmobiling.
