Executive Director

* Junior League Member

For me, having the honor of being invited to serve on the Board of the Children’s Museum was such a great fit. I essentially have three children less than three years of age and we spend countless hours at the Museum already. When a Board member that serves currently asked me if I’d be interested in getting involved, an enthusiastic YES was my response. When I met with the executive team, I was sold immediately…not that I needed to be. It is rare when it comes to Board support to truly feel like you are appreciated and that everyone really wants to make a difference.

Being on the Board for a little bit under a year, I’ve already started working with the Director of Marketing to brainstorm new ideas and I truly feel like part of a team. With Jane Werner’s leadership, the strategy that goes behind every decision at the Museum also attracted me to the organization. Some places I’ve worked with in the past have a bit more lax attitude about decision processes, which never fares well. What makes the Children’s Museum such a well-oiled machine is the relentless commitment, dedicated staff time and efforts and shear ingenuity that all starts with Jane. I am so happy with “my place” at the museum and I hope to continue my work with them for a long time. A unique organization that makes me feel welcome all the time: whether I am walking into a Board meeting, or visiting for fun with my family.
