I'm too busy.

I don't feel comfortable being the old... most experienced person in the classroom.

Michelle Downey received the Graduate Student Leadership Award at our 2018 spring graduate commencement. Michelle's path to Fitchburg State began when she worked in academic publishing sales for 15 years and worked with professors on how to best meet their needs. From her sales background, she had the benefit of getting to work with professors from colleges all over the state. Michelle chose Fitchburg State because of the professors she met here. 

"They advocate for their students, help foster relationships with colleagues and, ultimately, led me to fall in love with teaching," she said.

Earlier this year Michelle obtained her first full-time teaching job and looks forward to continuing her new career path in Special Education, Moderate Disabilities.  She lives in North Andover with her husband, Brian, and their 7-year-old twins.

Tell us about yourself.

My name is Danielle Berthiaume, and I am so excited I will be finishing my third course in the next week here at Fitchburg State as a part of cohort one. I am married to a wonderfully supportive husband; I am also a stepmom of three children and mom of two lovely boys, ages five and five months. I keep myself busy on all fronts, as we enjoy camping and the beach in the summer. Fall and spring bring sports including swimming, soccer and dek hockey all for my son, as well as dek hockey for myself. I tend to overcommit and find myself stressed to the max, but with the help of my husband I have found success at this point in my life.
