Born and raised in Vermont, Heather moved to Portland in 2002 where she pursued degrees in Oceanography (SMCC) and Marine Biology (UNE). She later went on to pursue an MBA from Husson University prior to having children. SMCC is also where she met her husband, Matt.

 

Professionally, since 2021 Heather has worked from home for a company based in Colorado, building a Customer Support Organization to support the advancement of healthcare through proteomics. Previously, Heather worked at a locally based company in animal healthcare for 11 years.

 

Heather and Matt reside in Westbrook with their 3 children, Lachlan (born in 2017) and identical twins, Aiden and Finn (born in 2020), dog, Brody, and cat, Whiskers. In her "free" time, Heather enjoys running, ballet, triathlons, and spending time outside in beautiful Maine with family and friends. Heather says, "Finding this group has been invaluable in getting advice, support, and finding my footing as a mom and individual after having twins during a pandemic."

Rachel Berry

Event Coordinator & Web Master

Rachel lives in Portland with her husband, fraternal twin daughters (Sophia and Olivia), and their cat, Bubba. She is the assistant teacher at The Children's Nursery School, a small cooperative preschool. When she can, Rachel loves to read, listen to audiobooks or true crime podcasts, and sew. 

Rachel has been a member of GPMoMc since 2018. She says, "This club has been the one of the best things for my mental health since becoming a twin mom. Just having a community of moms that understand what I'm going through and having that support has been priceless. Plus being able to get out of the house guilt free once a month is amazing!" 

Allie Spaulding

Membership Coordinator

Allie grew up in central Maine and now lives in Freeport with her husband, identical twin boys (Max and Charlie), and their dogs, Roo and Bernadette. She is a pharmacist and has worked for the VA since 2010 - first in Boston and then in Augusta, Maine. Allie loves hiking, yoga, travelling, cooking, gardening (despite killing most of what she's grown so far). 

Allie has been a member of GPMoMc since 2019, right before her twins were born. She says, "This club has been so incredibly supportive, even before I became a MoM. I received so much love and advice through a challenging pregnancy and that support has continued through the past 3 years of motherhood. These women constantly inspire me and our get-togethers always leave me with a happy heart and sore cheeks from lots of laughter."
