My name is Michael Burnett, I am the assistant director at the Windham Regional Career Center.  I reside in West Brattleboro with my wife Jennifer and two cats Moofie and Princess.  I have recently taught middle school and high school Technology Education in NY State and Colorado.  I have ten years of experience working with middle and high school age students with a focus on mentoring, and character education classroom implementation.  I enjoywoodworking, reading, spending time with my wife, weight training, and watching the NY Giants. 
  • Vicky Dibelittle2
Vicky grew up in Ohio where she earned a degree in international business, and went on to work overseas for a few years.  Her parents are of Syrian and Spanish descent, which partly explains her love and passion for real [good] food, traveling, and learning about our world's cultures.  Vicky currently works with UVM Extension's Youth Agriculture Project while she completes her graduate work at SIT.  She loves to be outdoors teaching kids about the wonders of growing food, and she looks forward to being a Big Sister!

  • Audrey Levin McLaughlin, CFRE
I came to Vermont in 2004 and serve as senior development officer at Marlboro College.  I enjoyed two years as a Big to a great Little from Wardsboro and am now a Big Assistant to my husband Bob with his Little, who lives in Townshend, VT.  With 22 years of experience in nonprofit management, I'm a fundraiser both in my career and as a community member on local boards.  I'm also a donor. It's so important to support the important work people do to make our world a better place.  Everyone can contribute according to their skills, resources and affinities.  Serving on the Big Brothers Big Sisters Advisory Board is both a pleasure and a privilege.
