I graduated from North Brookfield High School in 1988. I received my Associates degree from

Quinsigamond Community College in business while I worked as an insurance broker for Gregson

Insurance in Spencer and Charlton.

I married my husband, Atty. Donald Cournoyer, of Southbridge in 1997.

I continued my education at Becker College to become an early childhood education teacher at

Mad Brook Academy in North Brookfield until I had my daughter, Alexis Cournoyer (now age 10).

I worked weekends at Harrington Hospital as a unit secretary on 2 North until I was pregnant with my second daughter, Gabrielle Cournoyer (now age 7).

In July, 2009, I received my Massachusetts real estate salesperson license and became a Realtor for Michael Toomey & Associates in North Brookfield and Spencer.
