Staff / Board

Mary Beth Drobish, Founder and Executive Director
In 2005, Mary Beth decided to combine her passion for animals and her love of children in a unique way. What followed turned out to be the construction of a handicapped-accessible Chester County bank barn and the beginning of programs for children with disabilities. With the combination of a supportive and committed board of directors, a kind and talented staff, and a very special group of animals, The Barn at Spring Brook Farm has become her dream-come-true.

Chris Guldin, Barn Manager
As barn manager, Chris oversees all aspects of barn management; animal care; and assists with activities. His kind and gentle manner make him a favorite with the animals and the children. Chris lives with his wife, Amy, two dogs, and four cats.

JoAnn Willison, Office Manager/Volunteer Coordinator
You may hear JoAnn's friendly voice if you call The Barn. She answers the phone, gives barn tours, coordinates volunteers, schedules field trips, and oversees all office related matters. A very busy and important member of our team.

Camille Piccone,  Program Coordinator
Camille works with parents and therapists to develop child specific animal-assisted activities for children who visit The Barn on a regular basis.   Camille is often accompanied by her therapy dog, Lincoln.

Becky Baily, Barn Support
Having grown up on her family’s dairy farm, Becky brings a special expertise to The Barn. In addition to assisting Chris with barn chores, she conducts an educational program related to dairy farming and often brings a cow for the children to milk.
