Meet Our Team
Maria
CEO/Founder
I'm the owner and founder of Nokbox and I live in Littleton Colorado. I started the Nokbox in my garage with the help of friends and family, and the team we have now is still an incredible group of friends and family! After three years of getting the company off the ground, I now manage the day to day operations as well as assist all of our teams in the work that they do. While running a company tends to be all-encompassing, I love spending time with my teenager, traveling, hiking around with our cockapoo, and being at the beach in my home state of New Jersey..
Jacquelin

I'm originally from East Lansing, Michigan but am proud to be a Wolverine (BSN) and Tar Heel (MSN). I worked for many years in North Carolina as a school nurse and director of operations before making the pivot to business and I love being part of the Nokbox team! In 2025, I will graduate with an MBA from the University of Denver. In my limited spare time I love running, hiking, singing, reading and spending time with my family.

Anna
Education & Coaching
I love helping individuals complete their Nokboxes and that is my main role at Nokbox!! My background is in professional coaching, where for over 20 years, I have supported individuals as they transition, advance, and achieve desired results in their career and in their lives. I oversee the Nokbox Facebook group, the Nokbox Nook, and I offer 1:1 coaching to individuals and families who are looking for extra assistance as they create their Nokbox. I also provide group classes to help customers get started on their Nokboxes. It’s so fun to meet and interact with Nokbox customers! In addition, I connect with charitable organizations who are looking to partner with the Nokbox to help enhance their fundraising efforts. I live and work in Evanston, IL. In my leisure time, I love spending time with my family and friends, traveling with said family and friends, reading, and hanging out at Lake Michigan a few times a week.
