Hi, I’m Barrie Mittica and I am the Kaiserman JCC’s Director of Engagement. I am excited to be a part of the Kaiserman Family after having served as the Senior Regional Director of South Jersey Region BBYO for 8 years. I live in Lafayette Hill with my husband, C.J., our two daughters, Ayla and Sami, and our dog, Kali. Previous to changing careers to the Jewish Non-Profit World, I worked as an immunologist making antibody therapies for autoimmunity and cancer. i am a proud graduate of Texas A&M University (feel free to ask my about 4 years in Texas), Thomas Jefferson University, and Gratz College (yes I love to learn).
