"I love the culture here and the people I work with. I love that while working for Crayola I feel like I have work life balance which is super helpful while being a full-time mom & a part-time student. Having a 12-year-old and knowing that we are for kids speaks to my soul as a mother. I love all the volunteer opportunities we have, working with kids, teachers, and schools. My favorite volunteer events are always the ones with the kids. I just love seeing their little inquisitive minds and happy faces when they see/use our brand! Just knowing that I work for a company that makes a difference worldwide and being a part of that makes me feel like I’m making an impact."

I am able to bring my full self to work and able to lean into these various identities to support and advance my work at Crayola. Additionally, I LOVE my education team. It is truly humbling to work alongside such great minds every day! We are committed to advancing the brand in new and innovative ways to meet the needs of educators and students.
