meet our awesome team
if you've visited us at Mother Juice you know the heart and soul behind what we do is our MOJU family. Meet SOME of our favorite people here, to meet the rest - stop on by!
Ellen Fitzgerald
Ellen loves everything (well almost everything) about running a small business but her fave part is the energy she gets from working with people who are passionate about plant powered foods, happy minds, and a healthy planet. She started her first business when she was 8 years old -- selling spray painted pine cones (lol, yaaa) to her neighbors in Milton, MA. She now lives in Hingham, MA with her husband and two little boys. They love all things outdoors and bringing the boys to the city to visit MoJu.
Laura Baldini
Laura grew up in Concord, MA with her three siblings and many pets along the way. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in photography at Arizona State and went on to earn both a Real Estate studies degree from Boston University and her MBA from Suffolk University. Laura has always been health conscious but 7 years ago had a bad bout of asthma and turned to juicing to fix it. As fate would have it, she found Ellen on Facebook and learned about her Kickstarter for Boston's first cold pressed juice truck and the best internet friendship and partnership began. From there, the rest is Mother Juice history. Laura resides in Boston and loves all things MOJU, mermaids and plants.
Rachel Pugliares
Rachel handles all things MOJU- from catering, events, daily operations, staff communication, process, production you name it! Rachel grew up on the North Shore of Massachusetts and lived in Vermont for 6 years where she adopted her love of health food and wellness. Rachel moved back to her roots and now lives in Newbury, MA with her husband and puppy Leo 🙂 In her free time, Rachel loves hanging out with her long time friends, spending time at the beach, seeing live music, walking Leo, and doing yoga.
Airieanna Lane
Airieanna is the General Manager of our Boston Public Market + High Street Place locations! Her love for preparing good food that feels good to people began in 2017, and then she found her way to Mother Juice in 2019. When she isn’t at Mother Juice, you’ll find her cooped up on a computer freelancing as a Graphic Designer, baking goodies for loved ones, or trying out the hottest food spots in the city.
Lizzy Sutherland
Lizzy is the General Manager of our Harvard Sq. location + Commissary kitchen. After a long tenure in big box retail, Lizzy knew she wanted to work with a small, women-owned business that felt like family. A Florida native and avid traveler, Lizzy moved to Boston in the fall of 2021 and immediately felt drawn to Mother Juice. When she's not slinging smoothies, Lizzy loves hiking nearby trails with her pup, Siena.
Helena Perez
Hailing from Miami, Helena is the assistant manager at our Newbury St location! Despite the harsh temperature drop upon moving to Boston, Helena's happy MOJU and Miami have at least one thing in common: mangos. As an avid fruit & veggie lover, Helena is thrilled to be surrounded by fresh produce on a daily basis. Not to mention, lovely staff and patrons! Previously a Tufts student and barista, you'll now typically find them reading novels, pet-sitting, or gaming with their partner outside of work.
Caitlyn Burns
Caitlyn is the Social Media & Marketing Manager for Mother Juice. She has a love for all things wellness and a passion for sharing that with others. That's why she loves sharing MoJu with the people!! She graduated from the Institute of Integrative Nutrition in 2022 as a Certified Holistic Health Coach. When she's not making content for MoJu, you can find her making more content for her own social media presence, at the gym, or the thrift shop.
Sam Hackett
Sam is the assistant manager for our High Street Place location. They are still a fresh face to Boston, studying theatre at a local university. Most of their career has been spent in restaurants across the New England coast but they’re happy to find their new home at Mother Juice! Find their plays written and directed in Boston theaters.
