Donna Burnham
Housekeeping Coordinator dburnham@ferrybeach.org |
Donna was born and raised in Scarborough, Maine. While in High School, she completed a two-year technical program. She married her husband, Dennis, in 1980 and began her career as a part-time Secretary. As her family grew, Donna became a stay-at-home mother of two daughters and started an at-home daycare which she lovingly ran for 12 years. With her love and high attention to detail for cleaning and organization, she decided it was time to start a new business. Donna owned her cleaning business for 18 years, which brought her to Ferry Beach when she was hired as a contractor to clean the campus for weekend groups. Later that year, she was asked to take over the cleaning on change-over days which eventually led her to be hired as the Head of Housekeeping at Ferry Beach.
