Kiki credits her passion for travel to her grandparents who brought her along on many adventures growing up. Before joining Putney’s marketing team, Kiki led programs with National Geographic Student Expeditions in Nepal and spent two seasons on our outreach team. Now Kiki oversees our domestic and international outreach efforts, alumni engagement, and helps orchestrate our annual leader orientation, all while her trusty pup, Phoebe, naps in her desk drawer. She looks forward to working with our students every summer and has led and directed student programs in Nepal, Hawai’i, Fiji, Japan, and Italy. A South Florida native, she spends most of her time exploring the vast meadows of bucolic Vermont and eagerly anticipating the Fall season. Kiki is also a photographer, yoga instructor, doula, and aerialist.

Obedience School (did not complete); Therapy Dog Training (in progress)

Phoebe is a beloved member of our outreach team. You can find her at schools and summer fairs across the U.S. in her mom’s backpack. When she’s not snuggling up in her mom’s desk drawer, Phoebe enjoys seeking the comfiest and coziest spots to rest in the Putney Barn.
