I have been a resident of Woodstock for over 20 years and the owner of Read Between the Lynes bookstore for almost 14 years. I not only love the charm of Woodstock, but more importantly the variety of the Arts programming that is offered throughout the City. From City Band Concerts to the many music festivals, theater performances and art shows, there's always something to do. I look forward to meeting new residents and business owners and help to make invaluable connections.

Revelry Toys
manager
I founded Revelry Toys in January of 2024 with the idea that toy stores should be hands on, community centered, and ridiculous amounts of fun for kids and adults alike. When we open in our new Woodstock home, I hope you walk in and play with cool stuff you have never seen before.
I’ve been a hardworking Christmas elf for over 20 years now. Toys are kinda my jam. I spent 15 years in retail, much of that in the toy department. After that, I was fortunate enough to spend 4 years in the cozy world of neighborhood toy stores at Marvin’s Toy Store in Crystal Lake. I learned a lot in my role working mostly in the backroom, and I attended really fun trade shows. The Marvin’s crew took me in like family, and we had great times together.
I live with my wonderful husband, Brian, and our 2 dogs, King Arthur and Sir Lancealittle, who bring immeasurable light and joy to my life.

I’ve been a proud member of this community for over 40 years. My professional journey spans a diverse range of leadership roles — from Business Coach and President of a major magazine, to Founder of an alternative education system, Retail Executive, and Owner of an event planning company. I've also served as the Public Relations Manager for two major associations.
Currently, I wear many hats as the Founder, Inventor, Creative Director, and Operations Manager of The Gift Wrap Place(wrapwithbow.com) and the Pickup-Dropoff Company.
My family is deeply rooted here — my sons attended Marian in Woodstock, and my husband is a regional leader for a major international retailer.
