Allison Baum is a lifelong educator who joined the Hilltop Montessori School Board of Trustees with enthusiasm for supporting the school’s mission and community. She holds a B.S. in Conservation Biology and an M.S. in Biodiversity Informatics and currently works as a college counselor at The Putney School. Allison has lived in Putney, VT since 2012 with her husband, and together they have four boys, including one who graduated from Hilltop Montessori Middle School. In her free time, she enjoys gardening, cycling, cooking, and spending time outdoors with her family. Allison’s service on the board is inspired in part by the memory of her dear friend and former trustee, Rich Wolfe.
