Meet the Admissions Office

Missy Shea joined the Walker’s community in 2012 after spending most of her life in Vermont. She has a BA from Wellesley College, and an MALS with a concentration in writing communication from Dartmouth.

Missy has an extensive background in both independent and public education. She has taught English and history, coached a number of sports, been a dorm parent, and served local and district school boards for more than a decade (member, Chair, Executive Committee Vice Chair, Superintendent and Principal Search Committees Chair.) Missy also served former Vermont Secretary of State Deb Markowitz as Special Appointee for Coordination of Civic Education and Voter Outreach.

Not surprisingly given her Green Mountain roots, Missy also has 20 years experience in the recreation industry, including senior management level business experience as the Director of Skiing at Mad Glen and Vice President of Skier Services at Sugarbush Resort, both located in her home area of the Mad River Valley.

Missy has two children. She lives on campus with her daughter Nell ’13 and their yellow lab, Eloise.
