Meet our Health & Wellness Team
Natalie Stothart
With 18 years of experience in girls' education, I have dedicated my career to empowering students to succeed academically, socially, and emotionally. In my role as Assistant Head of School, it is my goal to make sure students feel connected and safe at SEM. Through planning events and activities, field trips, advising the SGA, overseeing our residential program, and teaching freshmen and juniors, I have the pleasure of building those important relationships with students and ensuring their time at SEM is filled with fun and unforgettable experiences.

As part of the Health and Wellness team, I oversee Academics and Discipline, while collaborating closely with the Assistant Head of School on mental health initiatives. I organize and coordinate the learning lab for students facing academic challenges and assist them in time management skills. Additionally, I guide students in exploring various academic pathways that align with their interests and goals.
Kim Skomra
As the School Nurse at SEM, I am responsible for the physical health of all students. As a part of the Health & Wellness team, I often see students who are in emotional, mental and social distress as well. I act as a liaison between school personnel, families, and community health care providers. Some of my functions include providing basic health care and first aid, record management, health education, health screening, and monitoring immunizations.

Health Insurance for Residential Students
SEM currently offers Geo Blue insurance to all of our residential students. The Geo Blue coverage is very good and covers most vaccines, office visits, etc. Anything not covered by the insurance (copays, prescriptions ,etc.) will be billed directly to the students’ account. We require parents/guardians to purchase the insurance that SEM offers, but if they have their own insurance and provide sufficient coverage for their student, we can approve their coverage with the proper documentation.
