Tonya Rayment’s passion for independent schools began during her own student days at an independent school in Englewood, Colorado. Her love for these vibrant communities deepened during her time working at a small college in Old Lyme, Connecticut. After gaining valuable experience in the insurance industry, Rayment felt called to return to the world of independent schools. She joined Rectory School in 2011 as controller and became chief financial officer a year later, a role in which she has been instrumental in shaping the school’s financial strategy and success. Rayment attended the University of Denver and then moved to eastern Connecticut, where she earned additional degrees and embraced diverse professional experiences, from public accounting and higher education to green energy and insurance. Rayment is the proud mother of three adult children and her home is now filled with joy from her four beloved dogs and a charismatic parrot. A passionate reader, she finds happiness in gardening, traveling with family and friends, and visiting her cherished Colorado roots whenever she can.
