Hello! My name is Megan Mueller. I am the Executive Assistant for Box of Balloons, Inc. I love planning parties and believe that everyone should be celebrated on their birthday, so working with Box of Balloons brings me so much joy.

​

I live in Wisconsin but travel often for both work and fun. During the day, I am an Ocean Cargo Underwriter, meaning I analyze risk in Ocean Cargo Insurance. I love how I get to build relationships all over the world and every day at work is different. 

 

I have a golden retriever named Bogey (after the golf term). In my free time you can find me with Bogey, spending time with family or friends, reading a book, or doing something active. 

Hi! My name is Bridget Vian and I am the website specialist here at Box of Balloons.  I work full-time in Madison for the Wisconsin National Guard.  My house is very full with 3 kitties (Zoey, Jody, and Zeke), 1 puppy (Chloe), and my husband, Jake. For fun, I love to sew, run, read, and travel.

​

I am lucky to have friends and family who make my February birthday special despite the usually crummy Wisconsin weather. We often eat somewhere special and play board games.

​

I am excited to be a part of Box of Balloons! I love seeing all the happy families who get to celebrate with the help of our volunteer team.

Hello, I’m Karen!

Besides my role as the Box of Balloons volunteer social media specialist, I wear a few other hats including a mom, wife, auntie, nurse & and competitive cheerleading coach.  I also love my 2 chocolate labs, coffee, reading, traveling, and the sunshine!

 

I have always enjoyed planning parties and celebrating my favorite people and holidays, so working with Box of Balloons is right up my alley.  Although I’ll be behind the scenes, I hope to continue to inspire, provide joy, and support the mission to celebrate every child!

Hi! Aleasha Here!

I support the Box of Balloons mission from the heart of Oklahoma, where I've lived and raised my boys since 2001. I have a long-standing passion for charitable work, which started at an early age when I volunteered with local schools, the VA, church missions, and a local telethon before I graduated high school. 

When I discovered Box of Balloons Inc., I fell in love with the idea of bringing happy birthdays to children in need and knew I wanted to find ways to contribute. I had to jump into action and put my writing and design skills to work!

Since June 2023, I have designed social media graphics and other marketing materials for Box of Balloons, Inc., and I look forward to continuing to support all the volunteer chapter leaders and the executive team. 

 

When I am not mouse-deep in Canva creating graphics for Box of Balloons, I work with clients, providing creative and administrative services through my company, Studio Promessa.

 

I am often distracted by the irresistible faces of my fur babies, my latest must-read, The Siren Call of Creative Projects, and dreaming of putting my passport to good use! Hello World Travel!!

Hi, My name is Melody Shafer!

I am a volunteer content writer here at Box of Balloons. I work full time as a Registered nurse and when I'm not working I enjoy spending time with my two wonderful kids! My kids and I love spending time with family and having fun!! I enjoy being outdoors, running, hiking, and football season!! 

 

It makes me happy to see children enjoying surprises for their birthdays and being celebrated by people they love. I love to see the smiles on the kids' faces when my kids have birthday parties or go to friend's birthday parties. I am proud to be a part of Box of Balloons and help support the cause so children everywhere can be celebrated and have lasting memories!
