Executive Director Julie Greenwood comes to Squash Haven from Williams College (MA), where she served as Assistant Professor of Physical Education, Women’s Squash Coach (1997-2002), Women’s Tennis Coach, and Acting Senior Woman Administrator. Julie’s squash teams at Williams always ranked between sixth and ninth in the country (all divisions).

Her tennis teams qualified for the women’s NCAA Division III championships every year, winning the first-ever back to back titles in 2001 and 2002. In addition to her coaching responsibilities, Greenwood was a first-year academic advisor and oversaw NCAA Compliance and Championships hosting.

She spent six summers leading outdoor trips (including two cross-country bike trips) for middle and high school students and is a former board member of the Greylock ABC (A Better Chance) program. In 2003, Greenwood became the community service outreach coordinator for the Williams athletic department and in that role helped establish community youth tennis and squash outreach programs, create an annual Christmas toy drive wrap party for youth, and facilitate a faculty lecture series for lifetime learners. Greenwood has also been a GED tutor for adults in North Adams, MA and more recently for former inmates in Brooklyn, NY as part of the Ready, Willing, and Able program.

Greenwood is a 1996 Williams graduate in History and Psychology. As an athlete she was a two-time NCAA Division III national doubles champion (tennis) and a three-time All-American in both tennis and squash. She was also the recipient of the Purple Key Award, given annually to the outstanding graduating male and female athlete. She received her Masters in Education from Stanford in 2003.
