Mary Beth Drobish
, Founder
The Barn at Spring Brook Farm was Mary Beth’s dream come true. Her passion for both children and animals led her to develop the organization and create the vision. Mary Beth lived on the adjoining property and dedicated years of her life to seeing that children with disabilities have a place to experience the unconditional love of animals.

Chris Guldin, Facilities Manager
[email protected]
Chris oversees all aspects of barn management, property management, and animal care. He assists with children and animals in all four of our programs and is a Camp Geronimo favorite, bringing campers and counselors to The Barn each morning in the hay wagon pulled by the tractor. His kind and gentle manner make him a favorite with the animals and the children.

Kelly is a certified Occupational Therapy Assistant. She has over ten years of experience working with children of all ages as a preschool teacher and time spent at the IU. Kelly has an abundance of programming experience and is excited to bring her knowledge and creativity to The Barn!
Taryn Schlitzer, Administrative and Program Support
Taryn brings a wide range of experience to the barn, including a B.A. in Theater and an Associate of Science in OTA. Both degrees have allowed her to gain knowledge and foundational expertise in several industries, including food service/customer service, theater, nannying, public-school support, community college education support, and animal shelter support. Through all of these adventures, she has discovered that she gravitates the most towards working with kids, problem-solving, and being creative; three skills that she can’t wait to utilize and make possible at The Barn!
