Family Focus Media is powered by a team of creative, motivated women who channel their shared passions for family and community connection to publish Main Line Parent, Philadelphia Family, and Bucks County Parent.

Our team loves connecting with the Philly Family Community. We keep local families in the loop with our weekly email newsletters featuring the latest stories from PhillyFamily.com with handpicked recommendations from our curated calendar family-friendly events. We’re actively involved in facilitating referrals and helping parents connect in our Philly Family Community Facebook Group every day. Then on Instagram as @PhillyFamilyMag, we offer more exclusive content and giveaways. We strive to provide valuable resources, tips, opportunities to connect, and we’re so glad you’re here!

Our team also helps organizations big and small connect with their ideal customers through comprehensive, multi-channel marketing campaigns. We’d like to invite family-focused local business and nonprofit leaders to join Philadelphia Family as a Member to start collaborating! You can read our team bios below and get in touch to explore how we can help you grow with the Philly Family Community.

Sarah’s desire to make friends and foster connection, while championing local businesses and nonprofits has propelled her company forward since 2010. She contributes to all areas of her small business, but she especially enjoys nurturing her team, creating beautiful and useful resources, hugging clients and Members, and supporting her family.

Pamela is a busy mother of four who uses her background in early childhood education to not only entertain her darling brood, but understand the youngest audience members of Philadelphia Family. A people person with passion and perseverance, she works one-on-one with local businesses to understand their marketing needs and creates a venue for their voice to be heard. Her warm smile and welcoming attitude make her a partner many now call friend.

Lauren is a communications and content design expert on a mission to help you express yourself! After four years in healthcare marketing, becoming eager to break into new industries, she started offering freelance marketing support for businesses of all kinds! Lauren currently resides in Mount Airy, Philadelphia. When she’s not zoned-in on her laptop during business hours, you will probably find her playing volleyball, cuddling her cats, hanging with friends, or she hopes – at a concert!

Mairin joins us from Pittsburgh and hopes you won’t hold her love for the Steelers, Penguins, and Pirates against her. She received both her BS in Marketing and Leadership/Change Management and Master of Business Administration from Duquesne University. She has been a member of the Family Focus Media team since 2016 and also does work for the Philadelphia Flower Show and Pittsburgh Irish Festival.

A transplant from North Jersey, Kristen quickly fell in love with the charm of Philly and all of the city’s many offerings. Using her background in sales, she strives to connect with and spread the word of local businesses to support Philly’s ever-growing and diversifying families. When she isn’t wrangling her two boys, you can most likely find her walking around Port Richmond with her pup, scoping out new restaurants in the city, and honing her baking skills in the kitchen.

Lauren is a proud mom, Main Line resident and lover of all things Eagles (Go Birds!). After years in public relations and marketing communications roles, she joined Family Focus in 2022 to help build and connect the local communities. In the rare moment Lauren is not chasing her toddler around the park, she can be found running around Ardmore, practicing yoga, and trying the latest flavor at 1-900-ICE CREAM.

Sarah, a Philadelphia-Suburb native, is an enthusiastic marketing major at the University of South Carolina. An out-of-the-box thinker, she is excited to gain hands-on experience to be utilized throughout her future career. When Sarah’s not in the library studying, she can be found with friends seeking great restaurants in the area, taking a barre class, or at a USC football game.

Philly born-and-raised (go Lancers!), Stef is a nonprofit communications professional, toddler and dog mom, and co-owner of 2StreetSammies food truck. As a freelance writer, she covers what she knows — the trials and tribulations of parenting, as well as resources to help moms feel supported – and hopefully, a little more sane! She also mentors young women, and volunteers for mission-driven causes to help make the city where she grew up a kinder and better place.

Tara brings to Main Line Parent more than 20 years experience covering the Main Line and Western Suburbs full-time for another local publication. Currently, she is fully dedicating her working hours to freelance projects from writing articles to consulting on social media and marketing endeavors for small companies. After growing up in Delaware County (she’s very proud of her DELCO roots), and spending the years after graduating from Saint Joseph’s University in Chester County, she now has been further north in the Bucks County area for close to a decade. Give her the opportunity and she loves to share what makes Bucks such a special place to live and raise a family! She recently spent two years as an expat in England with her husband and two young sons, but is now on her preferred side of the pond enjoying all that the Philadelphia suburbs has to offer. If she’s not on the sidelines of her sons’ flag football and baseball games, she can be found checking out the area’s newest restaurants and shops or on any of the beaches along the Jersey Shore when the weather permits.
