She attended Zebra Crossings camps over an 8 year period and later was part of Zebra Crossings’ first leadership training program for teens which she considers a formative experience in her life.
Eileen loves the history of the Seacoast area and its maritime roots which is visible everywhere in the old houses, lobster boats, and water vistas.
