Josephine is the heart and soul of Mothers Without Borders. We would not be where we are today without her vision and wisdom. She is one of those people you meet and you know your life will never be the same. Jo, as we affectionately call her, is one of the strongest, most powerful, most compassionate individuals the world has ever known. We are grateful to know that there are people like Jo in the world. We are beyond blessed to have her with us.

United States Staff


Paige is an inquisitive, fun-loving college student at Brigham Young University. She is studying Economics with an emphasis in Social Entrepreneurship. She has a passion for empowering people that are marginalized. Paige is a proud Texan, originally from Houston. She loves playing volleyball, jeeping, reading, and surrounding herself with family and friends. Paige spent a year and a half serving the people of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico on an LDS mission. She speaks fluent Spanish and the equivalent of Spanish ``Pig-Latin``. She loves a good dance party and shark fishing with her family.

She is a senior at BYU studying Public Health: Health Promotion and minoring in Nonprofit Management and International Development. She is passionate about maternal and infant health in developing communities. Sushi and Ben & Jerry's ice cream is her favorite food (though usually not together). She believes in being buoyant, always striving to rise up, and living by the motto: LIFE IS GOOD!

Alyssa is an undergraduate student at Brigham Young University studying Public Health with an emphasis in Health Promotion and a minor in Digital Humanities and Technology (a fancy way of saying graphic & web design). Alyssa has a passion for people, travel, inspiring growth and eating lots of gelato!

When she's not helping to build and strengthen our MWB community, she can be found running her own businesses, teaching leadership and female empowerment, and providing boundless love to her two dogs. Her favorite book is The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho and her favorite quote is by Marianne Williamson, ``Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us... You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”



When Kaylie is not working on one of her various projects, she enjoys spending time with her husband, watching STL Cardinals baseball (GO CARDS!!), reading, dancing, cooking (and eating), and hiking. She believes that life is meant to be enjoyed, not just endured.


Chloe loves to learn about new cultures and meet new people. She loves basically anything outdoors, especially hiking and finding fun new spots to explore with her husband. She coaches a youth swim team, and enjoys encouraging them to develop good, healthy habits and learn how to work hard. She is so excited to continue working with Mothers Without Borders, and to be inspired by the people who are involved with MWB.

Board of Directors


She is the mother of three children and a grandmother of four beautiful grand babies. She has served as her local PTA President and PTA Board member in Sammamish, WA and is a recipient of the Golden Acorn Award from the WA State PTA. Most recently Melissa has served as the area president of her church's women's organization having stewardship over 2,000 women.
She is an amazing team leader with a gift for both organization and loving others. Her wisdom and ``way of being`` bless all those who know her. Melissa also uses her insight and experience as a valued member of the board.

I'm retired from 20 plus years in the medical/nursing profession. Twenty years in the practice of oncology, as well as stints in rheumatology and dermatology. These many years of caring for others have given me perspective and compassion and the gifts I've received from my many, many patients through the years are immeasurable.
I love all things in and within nature and exercise. Hiking is a great passion of mine, and I will find a hike anywhere in the world. I love to travel and experience and I greatly respect all cultures.
I have an amazing family that affords me the luxury to be a bit of a vagabond and supports my great wanderlust.

I heard about MWB at a women's conference in 2005 and knew that it was something that I wanted to do. 6 years later I went to Zambia for the first time with my oldest son. Since then all of my four children and my husband Jared have been to Zambia multiple times. It has changed our lives and made us more compassionate, aware and involved global citizens.

Joel’s passion for Mothers Without Borders came through the stories and changes he saw in his wife, Melissa, after her first trip to Zambia. However, his desire to help make a difference really took off after his first visit to Zambia. Seeing first hand for himself the impact Mothers Without Borders was having on the lives of so many women and children solidified his commitment to make a difference.
