Human Resources Coordinator
Ellen Sutherland has been with Pine Cobble since 2019 and currently works as the human resources coordinator. Prior to joining the Pine Cobble community, she served as the assistant to the superintendent in the North Adams Public Schools, retiring in 2018 after twenty-five years. Ellen holds a BA in sociology from North Adams State College (today the Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts) and is currently a facilitator for the Berkshire Educational Resources K12 (BERK12) Administrative Offices Study Team.
A self-described “people person,” Ellen says the best thing about working as the human resources coordinator is interacting with the faculty and staff at Pine Cobble and assisting where she can.
In her free time, Ellen serves on the executive board of the Northern Berkshire United Way and volunteers in her community in various capacities. Her hobbies include baking and spoiling her seven grandchildren.
