Her clients include Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen and Leeza Hernandez (Roxie Loves Adventure), Mike Ciccotello (Beach Toys vs. School Supplies), Cori Doerrfeld (The Rabbit Listened), Claudia Friddell (Road Trip!), Susie Lee Jin (Not an Egg!) and Janna Matthies (Here We Come!).

Visiting Our Campus

Our campus (The Barn at Boyds Mills) is tucked away in the foothills of the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania.  It's a few hours from both New York City and Philadelphia, but worlds away from everyday life.
