Wendy is a fun-loving mom to two daughters and two pups. She adores being with her family, traveling, exploring the outdoors and all things “kids”.

She holds a dual Masters in Childhood Education and Special Education from NYU and a BA in Journalism from the University of Wisconsin - Madison. She loves engaging with children and finds their playfulness, curiosity and innocence refreshing and fulfilling. Wendy prioritizes children’s education and equally important is focusing on children’s emotional and mental development as these tiny humans are our future.

A devout climate activist, Wendy is a trained Climate Reality Leader (Al Gore’s organization) and incorporates sustainability in all that she does. She helps run the Green Team at her daughters’ school and is the PTSA Sustainability Chair recognizing that small changes have rippling impacts to better our planet and life. She brings passion for education, kindness, and climate justice to everything she touches.

Wendy is a self-published children’s book author, Hudson’s Tales, The Adventures of Puppy Brother. During Covid, along with starting Book Clubs 4 Kids, she converted her garage to a full-fledged learning space to offer in-person learning pods during remote school. ReRoute Learning Pods continue to this day, as an after-school elementary enrichment program, offering mixed ages, thematic learning driven by student interest. ReRoute also offers summer pods to provide theme-based engagement throughout the year. All things FUN and KIDS are Wendy’s happy place!
