JAMIE KRENN, FOUNDER & LEAD CONSULTANT

Jamie holds a Ph.D. in Educational Psychology: Cognitive Studies from Teachers College, Columbia University.  Jamie leads the “Children & Media: Analysis & Evaluation” area of focus at Teachers College, Columbia University, focusing on research and theories relevant to learning and developing educational materials for children. Her research interest includes cognitive media processing, creative preschool curriculum preparation, and culinary cognition. 

She is also a very silly mother who lives near New York City. She grew up in Upstate New York, where she spent her days riding ATVs, picking wild raspberries, and running cross-country. Before Westchester, she lived in NYC and liked to eat at fancy restaurants and taco trucks. She likes to play with her daughter until she is exhausted, hike, play board games, and engage in outdoor archery. She loves cooking, fairness in play, tasty food, and bad jokes.

Jamie is a full-time mom who teaches at Columbia University’s Teachers College, Sarah Lawrence College, and Siena College while working as an educational media consultant. She’s an expert who knows firsthand that there aren't many tools to support work-from-home-parents like her. She hopes to share her experience and training with others in food, parenting, psychology, and product development.
