President
Storytelling is a strength of all of the members of the Reynolds’ family. Jane was never happier than when reading out loud to her younger siblings, including Peter H. Reynolds and his twin Paul. When she was director of Lammas School in England, Jane became passionate about improving the educational environment to allow for creative thought. Now as President for FableVision Learning, she works with her brothers and the FableVision team to develop programs to support teacher creativity around the world, using the messages of Peter and Paul’s books in PD, curriculum and activities for both in and out of the classroom.
Vice President
With a background in storytelling and a focus on education, Andrea works closely with schools to customize programs that weave in the special magic found in the books by Peter H. Reynolds, ensuring that all learners have the tools to succeed. She has been on the forefront of the product launch and classroom-implementation of FabMaker Studio, the first digital fabrication software tool developed specifically for use in the classroom. She speaks nationally and runs workshops on the importance of STEM and story. In her previous life she was a newspaper editor. Andrea earned her bachelor’s degree in English from Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts and a master’s degree in Journalism from Regent University.
Director of Creative Education
Sara is an experienced K-12 educator, creativity facilitator and curriculum designer. She is an amateur but enthusiastic ukulele player and improv actor. She earned her master's degree in creativity from SUNY College at Buffalo. Now she works with FableVision Learning to inspire creative thinking in teachers and students through professional development and joyful learning experiences. She lives in Charlotte, NC, where she can happily and unabashedly use the word y'all.
Business Manager
Kathy brings decades of experience in business, finances and common sense to help FableVision Learning and the Reynolds Center steer the ship forward. Born in Greece, and emigrating to Boston when she was only nine, she learned English quickly. She learned much from her mother and father about working hard in a new country. That drive to survive and thrive became the bedrock of her way of thinking. Kathy works extremely hard to make sure that the "creative harbor" of FableVision Learning remains open and a welcome place for educators and families.
Allie Joyner • Director of Innovative Solutions
Allie radiates a passion for life and a commitment to spreading light and joy wherever she goes. With over 15 years of experience in K-12 education, she champions creativity, joy, and empowerment for learners and educators. Her background in instructional technology, bilingual education, and curriculum design has been instrumental in creating innovative learning experiences for ALL. Her journey took a fortuitous turn when she heard Peter H. Reynolds' speech at the famous Riverside Church in New York City in 2019. Moved by his message of bravely sharing one’s story with the world, she penned her first children’s book. Since then Allie's journey has been a series of interconnected "Dots," leading her to The FableVision Learning Team. Fueled by her love for writing, Allie is currently working on multiple children's books taking inspiration from her favorite children’s book author…Can you guess who that might be?
