Maggie McPhail
Maggie is thrilled to be joining the Northern Light School family! Starting her career in Business Operations and Management in Telecommunications, it wasn't until she began volunteering at her children's elementary school that she realized a love for working with educators and students. Working with Can Do! Education Foundation in San Rafael for over 10 years and more recently at The Marin School as Director of Finance and Operations, she had the opportunity to leverage her MBA and professional experience with her passion for education to work with and connect to her community. She is deeply grateful for the opportunity to continue this work at Northern Light School.
Originally from New Jersey, Maggie transferred with her employer from New York City to San Francisco in 1997, for what she thought would be only a year or two. However, after meeting her partner, a San Rafael native, on a flight from Orange County in 1998, she put down roots in the Bay Area. A recent empty-nester, she lives in San Rafael with her husband and dog, Ginger. With both of her children now in college, she finds herself missing the days of elementary school! In addition to interior and graphic design, she loves spending time in the mountains and at the beach and traveling back east whenever she gets the chance to visit friends and family.
