It is my honor to represent my constituents in the Maine State Legislature!

​

I am the daughter of Julian and Polly Dodge, both from Islesboro, Maine, an island in Penobscot Bay. After their marriage, they moved to America (“the mainland”/Belfast) where Mom taught at Governor Anderson School, now Waterfall Arts and Dad was a mechanic at C.A. Paul & Sons, a Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge dealership.

​

After graduating from Belfast Area High School with High Honors, I attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. I earned a Bachelor of Music Education degree With Distinction, came home to Maine and taught in the former Flanders Bay Community School District.  I had vocal and instrumental teaching responsibilities at varying levels K-12 through my just over thirty year career.

​

I now live in my family home in Belfast where I grew up!!! My brother, David, and his wife, Tisha, live in Massachusetts. David is a retired Electrical Engineer from the MITRE Corporation. They are planning retirement activities and travel options. My nephew, Derek Julian, graduated from UCONN and is a biomedical engineer. My niece, Jessica Pauline, graduated from UNH and is working in hospitality management.

Beyond my political activities, I love swing and line dancing, water and cross-country skiing and card crafting.
