She holds a B.A. from Middlebury College, an M.B.A. from Marlboro College, and a rubber chicken from the San Francisco Circus Center Clown Conservatory.
Maggie Cunha never dreamed she’d be working with a bunch of clowns—but she’s loving every minute. Maggie’s passion to connect people to the good they want to do in the world started in college when she established and built a university chapter of Habitat for Humanity. Fast Forward to 2022, Maggie has an MHP in Community Health Education, experience managing a $2M program, and lives in Argentina with her husband and 10-year-old son.
