Following jobs that included work as an innkeeper, retail associate, front desk receptionist, the opportunity to fill the post of Development Officer at Maple Street School, an independent day school in Manchester, VT, arose.

Shortly after joining the team, BVHC was awarded $1 million which commenced the renovation project at 9 Church Street. Originally working closely with the renovation team from a development stand point, Ms. Bryan, using her “jack of all trades” work ethic, slid into the role of project manager, acting as the liaison between the contractors and BVHC. Throughout the renovations, she worked with contractors, staff members, and designers to help bring BVHC to where it is today. Using her knowledge and love for the town of Arlington, Ms. Bryan has worked to cultivate relationships within Arlington to bolster BVHC’s patient panel and philanthropic support.
