Pauline Li
After spending over a decade overseas, Pauline was repatriated to the Bay Area in 2019 with her husband, a Bay Area native, and their son. Pauline grew up in Toronto and has held various corporate positions – from governance to marketing and public relations to brand management and strategy – in the themed attractions industry (the business of fun!). When she is not mom-ing at home and on SFBAM, Pauline enjoys traveling, photography, sports, music, going to the beach, and visiting theme parks.
