Nursery School Associate Director

Kelsey Mayhall

I grew up in a small Boston suburb and loved being close to my family and my tight-knit community so didn't stray far when I chose Williams College.

When I met my future husband, we decided to expand our horizons, moving to Los Angeles where I attended business school and then to San Francisco where I pursued Brand Management at Nestle. I had a passion for understanding consumers and for developing and marketing products.

Once I welcomed my first daughter, I was wholly dedicated to being a mom and I loved every minute of being home with my three children. Since my oldest began the Threes Program at First Presby in 2014, I have loved this special community of engaged parents and nurturing teachers. Last year, I was thrilled to evolve my role from being a Presby parent to now serving as Associate Director at the school that has meant so much to me and my family.

Family

My father and my two sisters and their families still live in Massachusetts. After spending time in California and New York City, my husband, John, and I settled in Riverside 12 years ago. We have loved raising our three children in this beautiful town with its proximity to the water and its endless outdoor and urban adventures; most importantly, we found a neighborhood where we are lucky to have friends whom we consider family.
