I have been publishing Macaroni Kid Androscoggin since 2010. My kids were all young, I was anxious to connect with other parents of young kids, as well as give back to a community that has given me so much. Macaroni Kid was the perfect fit. Soon after I began publishing, I was offered a position at Macaroni Kid National. My path there has lead me to direct our national sales team. I now am able to support hundreds of parents across the U.S. and Canada in owning their own Macaroni Kid edition business as well as connect our 3 million families with our partner brands. I am grateful each day for a career that has fulfilled me in so many ways. With my responsibilities at Macaroni Kid National steadily increasing over the years, I recently came to realize that it was time to hand the reins of my local edition over to a new publisher.
It is with great pleasure that I introduce you to your new publisher, Kelli Jones. She will officially begin publishing as of June 1.
Kelli is a Turner resident, mom of 5 in a blended family, wife, free-spirit, and has a passion for people and community. She grew up in Lisbon Falls in a family known for its local businesses. She also has a strong church family. Kelli loves reading, writing, painting, cooking, baking, foraging, and trail walking. If you can’t find her in the kitchen, you can find her happily lost in the woods! Kelli is a long-time reader of Macaroni Kid and is excited to become a part of the Macaroni Kid Team. She looks forward to getting to know all her readers. I know y'all will give her a warm welcome.
And, I look forward to watching Kelli grow in this role. I continue my work with Macaroni Kid National and will be cheering her on from the sidelines! Please keep in touch. I can be reached at kayt@macaronikid.com. Thank you to you all for the many years of support.
