About me -

Originally from Sweden, I moved to Philadelphia as a young girl. NYC became my home after gradschool and I have been here ever since. As a working mom of 4, time management has become an essential part of life and I've translated this mindset to the way we run Maypole. Time is our most valued resource and we value our clients' time as much as our own.  

​

How I contribute to the client's experience - 

I'm very passionate about processes and consistently improving upon them.  If there is a way for me to make the client's experience when working with us better or easier I want to find it and implement it...and then improve it again!

Masters - Environmental Health Sciences, Columbia University

About me -

I am originally from the historic city of Annapolis, and anywhere off the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland will always feel like home. My master's program brought me to NYC and, like many others, I fell in love with the city and have been here ever since. My career in the sciences has included a wide range of real-world experiences, from becoming immersed in West African communities that lacked electricity and running water, to the epitome of urbanization in Manhattan. Outside of work, I cherish time spent with friends and family, which includes my Shar-Pei "daughter" Penelope. 

​

How I contribute to the client's experience - 

I seek to approach each project as if I'm working with our first customer. I like to make client issues my issues, and in such a manner I aim to create a relationship where the client knows they are in good hands.

About me -

I come from a household with strong family ties where my parents always served as good role models. I was born and raised in Poznan, Poland, a country most famous for pierogi, golabki, John Paul II, and Frederick Chopin who is my favorite Polish composer.

​

How I contribute to the client's experience - 

It is all about listening to the clients’ needs and a friendly approach. Great customer experience starts with a smile!

About me -

I was born and raised in Westchester, NY. Whilst attending college in the Midwest I realized it doesn't get any better than New York, so I moved back immediately after graduation. My background is in environmental modelling, systems engineering and biochemistry. In my free time I like to get in touch with my farming roots by tending to my many plants. I also enjoy ultimate frisbee and video games.

​

How I contribute to the client's experience - 

My advanced and diverse science knowledge helps to solve complex issues and interpret analytical data.

About me -

I am from Connecticut but made the short journey on the Metro-North to attend New York University, and I’ve called NYC home ever since. Prior to joining Maypole, I began my career in journalism and social media. When I’m not at work, you can find me browsing bookstores for hours on end, trying a new Pilates class or searching for the best matcha in NYC. 
 

How I contribute to the client's experience - 

I take the time to understand our clients’ needs and love coming up with creative ways to share Maypole’s services.
