She is replacing John Crowley, who is retiring after serving as commissioner since 2003. Governor Douglas praised Crowley, stating, "Vermonters have been so very fortunate to have someone at the helm of BISHCA with John's breadth of experience and credentials. His perspectives as an attorney, a certified public accountant, a certified financial planner, and a past legislator of distinction in both the House and the Senate have served Vermonters well. I wish him all the best for a long and fulfilling retirement."
