Cheryl joined the GCDS Admission Team in the summer of 2015. An independent school “lifer,” she has worked in day and boarding schools since 1995. As the daughter and sibling of educators landing in a school setting was always in her cards. She feels honored to introduce families to the breadth of opportunities and depth of relationships and connections that are unique to independent schools. Cheryl loves the energy and rhythm of the GCDS day - from the early morning carpool line to students passing in hallways, to the excitement of a big game, to the calm when the sun sets over the campus. Originally from Colorado, Cheryl fell in love with the east coast while traveling to field hockey and lacrosse tournaments as a high school player. Cheryl holds a B.A in Political Science from Smith College and a M.Ed. in School Leadership from Harvard Graduate School of Education.

Lori grew up in Glen Ridge, New Jersey where she spent her spare time on a competitive gymnastics team at the Montclair YMCA. After graduating from Berkeley College, she worked in NYC as an administrative assistant, copywriter, and office manager.  In 1988, Lori moved to Greenwich to raise her three children. In 2008, she joined Greenwich Country Day School as an Admission Counselor. She connected with our shared belief that every community member is valued, respected, and needed. In turn, each parent, student, faculty, and staff member is willing to, “go the extra mile!” When a family calls the Admission office, Lori is most often the first person with whom they will speak. Lori is committed to making sure that prospective families have a positive first impression of the school and that they understand that their child’s education and wellbeing is our top priority. When she is not at GCDS, Lori enjoys spending time with her family at the beach in Hilton Head SC, working on her backhand, and playing with her dog and best friend, Duncan.
