MEET THE MINDS BEHIND THE WEBSITE

KALI FOXMAN

Kali is the director of content strategy at CJP, where she focuses on content planning across digital channels, thoughtful messaging, and the pursuit of the perfectly edited sentence. In her so-called free time (she has a toddler!), she enjoys baking, eating ice cream, and binge-watching Netflix with zero shame.

JONATHAN BARBATO

Jonathan is the associate director of digital and web strategy at CJP, where he leads website rebuilds, launches big-picture campaigns, and secretly loves a good editorial spreadsheet. Outside of work, he’s usually hanging out with his husband and their opinionated Lab, Daisy. Otherwise, you can find him reading ancient Greek and Roman texts or trying to learn yet another instrument—preferably one that doesn’t take up too much space in his apartment.

JESSICA ELBY

Jessey is the digital marketing manager at CJP, where she channels her endless scrolling into meaningful storytelling and community connection. When she’s not working, she’s negotiating with her 75-pound rescue dog or juggling a mix of passions—from surfing and horseback riding to doing CrossFit, cooking new recipes, and planning her next trip.
