Rebecca Kahlenberg — Founder and President

Rebecca Kahlenberg grew up in suburban New York and received a BA from Harvard college and a Masters in Public Policy (MPP) from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. She worked briefly for Prince George's County Government in Maryland, then chose to be home with her two young children and began volunteering in her community. After the birth of her third child, she started a quarterly newsletter for families called "Family Travelers."  That writing adventure launched her freelance writing career, and Rebecca then continued freelance writing for magazines and newspapers for about 15 years. During that time she was also active in many community organizations and served as PTA co-president at Bannockburn Elementary School and President of the Woman's Suburban Democratic Club.

Rebecca founded MoverMoms in 2007 and published a parenting book in 2008 called "Like, Whatever": The Insider's Guide to Raising Teens. She also currently does some corporate and non-profit communications.

Rebecca lives in Bethesda, Maryland, with her husband and four daughters.
