Amy Beaudoin is a Senior Marketing Manager on the Education & Library team at Simon & Schuster. She enjoys spending her time running, knitting, and collecting rare editions of her favorite children's books. She loves to learn, and takes new classes and workshops on communications and writing whenever she can.
Nicole Benevento is an Marketing Manager on the Education & Library team at Simon & Schuster. The daughter of two elementary school educators, she loves that she could make a career out of working with incredible teachers and librarians every day. When Nicole is not reading or listening to an audiobook, she is usually baking more treats than she can eat, diving into a puzzle, or scribbling with pastels in her sketchbook.
Caleigh Flegg is a Children’s Library Marketing Associate on the Education & Library team at Simon & Schuster. For all four years of middle school, she won “most books checked out” at her library, so you could say her career is the ultimate expression of her childhood ambitions. When she’s reading, she is usually running in Central Park, attempting a new recipe, or following random dogs down the street.
Nia Todd is an Assistant Marketing Manager on the Education & Library team at Simon & Schuster. She can be found reading a book or binging one of her many shows. When she isn’t doing that, she is out with friends on a new adventure.
