āI enjoy working with students and parents, helping them to navigate in some instances
the unknown,ā she said. āIām grateful each day to work with this community of professionals.ā
In the summer, she enjoys leisurely walks around campus and stopping at Haupt Pond
to observe the wildlife. In the winter, she likes to look for student snow/ice art.
She also looks forward to her daily iced coffee from Burgess CafƩ.
Outside of work, one might find Routledge at Skidmore participating in the First Night

in the Adirondacks with her family and German shepherd, knitting, writing and traveling.
Edinburgh, Scotland is currently her favorite travel destination.
