I spend most of my spare time at circus school doing things that are way outside my comfort zone - but that’s exactly why I go. I enjoy cooking, singing, photography, juggling and aerial arts. I live in Brookline, MA with my husband, three children, three cats, a dog and six chickens. When I stepped back from Magic Beans, I was looking to do more of that kind of work, and so I went back to school to study facilitation and coaching. I also completed a fellowship in nonprofit board leadership through OnBoard in 2015. At Magic Beans, I loved thinking about how to create strong, cohesive and high-performing teams, and how to make meetings more efficient, engaging and impactful. I have worked on many projects, from print publications to large-scale consumer events to mobile app development, and I've consulted with manufacturers on product development and marketing strategy. In 2004, I founded Magic Beans with my husband and helped grow it from a small startup to an award-winning toy and baby gear retailer with multiple store locations and over $10 million in annual revenue. I started my career as a branding copywriter, working with clients like Nokia and IBM/Lotus. Over the course of my career, I've worn many different hats, including entrepreneur, head honcho, HR manager, marketing guru, design director, toy scout, stroller matchmaker and gift wrap ninja. I love creating space for ideas to emerge. I am a trained facilitator and coach with over 18 years of experience in management, business development, brand development and change work.
