M.B. Paradise
​Author, Speaker, and Entrepreneur
M.B. Paradise has always been a fan of stories, Santa, and the beach… so combining the three made perfect sense.  Her 5-star children's book has allowed her to become a community builder,  bringing books to underserved communities by partnering with RU Chop 4 Change, the LA Chargers, the Jim and Tabitha Furyk Foundation, The Gatorbowl in Jacksonville FL, New Brunswick NJ Wash and Learn, and DowNeck Laundromat.  Her book also gives back through her contribution to Team LeGrand, which is a fundraising arm of the Christopher and Dana Reeve Foundation.
She is a former college anatomy professor (Rutgers) and a Certified Athletic Trainer (Princeton University, Monmouth Univ and the BigTen). In addition to writing and marketing her Beach Santa book and craft, she also works remotely in higher ed.  She has barely survived two NYC marathons, is a National Park fan, self-proclaimed sports nerd, and currently lives in New Jersey with her husband and daughters. Beach Santa is her first children’s book.
