She holds a Bachelor of Science (Biology) from Mt. Allison University and a Master of Science (Speech Pathology & Audiology) from Ithaca College, Ithaca, New York. Judy continues her family's legacy of supporting multiple charities including those that protect and enhance the environment, assist individuals medically, and contribute to the lives of companion animals (large and small) and our Island wildlife.
