Celebrating Women

While there are many reasons to celebrate this time of year, we love to put the spotlight on the women in our lives and those making our community a better place for all. There will always be pivotal moments, positive and challenging, that can alter the course of life’s journey. We spoke with Charmetra Bailey, Joy Bennett, and Beatrice Balmaseda to learn how following their passions allowed them to overcome challenges and set a new path forward in their career and life. From classroom lessons to the latest technology and exploring new cultures to starting a new career, education is a catalyst of opportunity. Two local nonprofit organizations, Mason Schools Foundation (MSF) and Women Walking West (W3), understand the power education has in shaping the future for both children and adults. Learn how MSF is enriching the Mason City Schools student experience and how W3 is helping foreign-born women through education opportunities and mentoring. Another great way of learning is reflecting back at your past and asking, “What advice would you give your younger self ?” We asked local Dermatologist Dr. Elizabeth Muennich that very question and she shared her journey from childhood dreams to her new state-of-the-art dermatology office. With Mother’s Day right around the corner, many of us are scrambling to figure out how to make this day extra special for the wonderful women in our lives. Luckily, we have delicious recipes and DIY decorations that are sure to be a hit with the whole family. Lastly, I’d like to take a moment to say thank you to our advertising partners, readers, and our incredible team as we celebrate our 4th anniversary of Mason + Deerfield Lifestyle. Happy Mother’s Day to the amazing moms on our editorial team—Amanda, Karen, April, Jenna, Cathy, and Laura, and to all the moms in our communities!

The Mason Schools Foundation enhances local students’ education experiences. MSF Grant Program, Tune Up for Success at Mason Middle School.

Mindy Patton, Grant Chair
The Mason Schools Foundation began with a generous donation from Ken and Joan Campbell, in honor of their 40th wedding anniversary. The Campbells made their donation with the hope that the funds could be used to help Mason-based students. Thus, in 2008, a team of residents, parents, business leaders and school officials formed what became the Mason Schools Foundation (MSF); an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with a resident-driven board of directors. “The Mason Schools Foundation is founded on the concept of helping the district take students above and beyond in academics, arts and athletics,” says Mindy Patton, who once served as MSF’s President and now serves as the Grant Chair. By funding grants to support programs such as the Mason High School (MHS) Language Lab, and the Mason Middle School Robotics Class and Tune Up for Success, the Foundation has gone to great lengths to enrich the educational experiences of Mason students. The MHS Foreign Language Lab is a great example of a grant with enduring impact. It was established in 2008 after Spanish teacher Rod Stewart noticed a gap in the upper language students’ speaking and listening assessments, and proposed adding a Language Lab that focuses specifically on these exercises. “The lab features individual student stations that allow the teacher to facilitate conversations, and give immediate feedback as the students practice speaking and listening,” Mindy tells us. Since its formation, the MSF has invested more than $1 million in grants and created an endowment of more than $1 million to sustain the organization. “What I love the most about being part of the Foundation is that we fund grants in every single building from pre-K through 12th grade,” current President Nathalie Neuburger shares. Since 2014, the MSF has annually invested more than $100,000 in grants across the district.
“The grants that the Foundation has awarded have not only impacted the recipients, but have informed our practice as a district and allow us to see the results of great ideas,” Mason City Schools (MCS) District Representative, Krissy Hufnagel, explains.
GRANTING OPPORTUNITIES New grant ideas are submitted, evaluated and awarded every year. “Each spring, the Mason Schools Foundation invites teachers, students and administrators to submit grant proposals sharing innovative new programs, ideas or concepts for consideration for funding,” Mindy describes. “The grant writer completes an application outlining their program, project budget, reach and how it takes students above and beyond.” The MSF grant team then reviews and evaluates all applications, awarding funding in July of each school year. “Over the past 13 years, MSF grants have had an impact on every child at some point in their time at MCS,” Nathalie tells us. “We have so many incredible programs in place that could not be funded through the regular school budget.” Another impactful district-wide grant is the Innovative Catalyst grant that provides opportunities for teachers to request grants throughout the year that drive change and support the district’s focus areas of inclusive excellence, culture and personalized learning. Each spring, MSF also provides the opportunity to recognize teachers and community members via nomination for the Above and Beyond Teachers award. One educator per school is recognized and awarded a grant for their classroom. “The Foundation embodies the spirit of collaboration and support for education that is vital to the community of Mason,” says Krissy.

“The Foundation embodies the spirit of collaboration and support for education that is vital to the community of Mason,” – Krissy Hufnagel, Mason City Schools District Representative.
ABOVE & BEYOND SUPPORT Doaa Jasim, a member of the Lunar Moms of Mason, has been a strong supporter of MSF for many years. As a Lunar Mom, Doaa is part of a core group of parents who want to bridge the gap between the Muslim community and MCS. “Our community wants all kids to thrive and excel in Mason Schools. What better way is there than helping the MSF provide grants to those teachers who are willing to go above and beyond for our kids by providing unique experiences and programs aligned with the curriculum,” Doaa explains. Founding MSF board member and local realtor, Jackie Quigley, perfectly defines her purpose behind donating:
“When you give to young minds, it’s given back tenfold, because those young minds blossom and continue to do good for our community,” Jackie shares. If you’re looking to make a difference in Mason City Schools by supporting MSF, there are many ways to donate or volunteer. You can ‘Give Every Month’ (GEM donation) or make a general donation to propel the “Above & Beyond” journey. Donate by texting MSFGEMS2 to #76278 or email msf@masonschoolsfoundation.org to volunteer. In addition to typical donations, community members can also participate in one of the Foundation’s annual fundraising events, including the Back to School Supply Drive in August, their annual Gala and the January Reading Challenge.

MASON HIGH SCHOOL LANGUAGE LAB REFRESH Mason Schools Foundation funded the original Language Lab with a $35,000 grant in 2009 and this year with new funding, it will be refreshed with a complete software update. The Language Lab allows a foreign language teacher to connect to a student conversation and provide evaluations or assistance in real time. Each student can receive a copy of the recording and hear themselves utilize the foreign language. The district saw significant improvements in language skills for students who utilized the lab, and increased scores for those who pursued the AP (advanced placement) exam.
Mason Schools Foundation The Mason Schools Foundation funds innovative programs that help take all Mason students Above & Beyond. We invest in teacher training, innovative spaces, flexible seating, STEAM, and mental health programs for Mason students throughout the district.

“Fun is an important part of who I am— especially as a parent.”
The best life lessons come from our own experiences, especially when we take time to reflect. Dr. Elizabeth Muennich, dermatologist and owner at Dermatology & Skin Care Associates, hit pause on her busy life as a physician, business owner, spouse, mother and neighbor to share some wisdom with her younger self. As a youngster, Dr. Muennich pictured herself as a physician, even dressing in scrubs for Halloween. With a PhD in neuroanatomy, a career in neurosurgery originally grabbed her attention, but she opted for dermatology with its better work-life balance. Practicing dermatology allows her to explore both the clinical and cosmetic sides of healthcare, offer a full menu of dermatological services to her patients, complete with trailblazing technology, and still have time to devote to her husband, Josh, and their two children. This Cincinnati native is firmly rooted in her community raising her family and growing her business in her own backyard. When asked what words of advice she would share with her younger self, Dr. Muennich smiles as if rolling down a car window and looking in the rearview mirror on a roadtrip to remember.
SLOW DOWN “I have this amazing ability to get sucked into the hamster wheel,” shares Dr. Muennich. “I tend to get overcommitted—a lot of women do. We are people pleasers. We want to help. You can say, ‘No!’” she whispers in the ear of her younger self. “Although, I’m still working on that,” she adds with a smile.
LET YOUR CAREER FIND YOU “I knew I wanted to be in medicine, but I didn’t exactly know what route I wanted to take,” reflects Dr. Muennich. “Your career finds you in a bizarre kind of way. When you are a med student, there are a lot of options. It’s hard to make those major decisions. I’d tell myself it’s okay to change tracks. I thought I was going to be a neurosurgeon, but I’m not, and I’m happy.”
KEEP HAVING FUN “I had a lot of fun as a kid. I’d tell my younger self to keep doing that!” As a child of the 70s, Dr. Muennich had fun on wheels. Her childhood roller skating days and later love for martial arts landed her a spot on the Gem City Roller Girls during medical school at Wright State University. Nicknamed “Bad Attitude Barbie,” Muennich skated with the club for more than three years. “That was my stress relief during medical school,” she says. “I had t-shirts and coffee mugs that said, ‘Looks like Barbie—Hits like Ken.’” “I even met my husband boxing,” she continues. “He was teaching a kickboxing class I was taking. He kicked my hand and I talked him into taking me out to dinner. Fun is an important part of who I am—especially as a parent,” she says.
BACK TO THE FUTURE Nostalgia aside, Dr. Muennich looks ahead to the adventures life may bring her next, ready to tackle them with the sense of humor and strong sense of self that characterizes her and her work. “I’m ready for the next era,” she says with her signature confidence. Dr. Elizabeth Muennich and the Dermatology & Skin Care Associates team welcome patients at their new West Chester location at 7249 Liberty Way.

dream big Charmetra Bailey, director of Mason Food Pantry, had worked in the corporate world for nine years supporting the head of operations at a large hospital system when she felt called to do more. “I was very good at what I did, but at times I felt like a robot,” shares Charmetra. “At my prayer group, I was always asking for help finding my purpose because I felt like I should be doing something more to help people.” A part-time opportunity at the Mason Food Pantry, a mission-based nonprofit started by Grace Chapel in Mason where Charmetra was a congregation member, soon presented itself. After two months, she was asked to become the pantry’s only paid full-time employee. She was uncertain about making the shift from the corporate world to the nonprofit world, but it became a pivotal “yes moment” in her life. “People said ‘yes’ to me and believed I could do it, and that helped me take the leap,’’ says Charmetra. “I didn’t have a nonprofit background so I will always be learning in this field. I just wanted to help people. If you have heart for something, there is no limit to what you can do.” At Mason Food Pantry Charmetra and about 60 volunteers serve 300-400 people a month. It’s a warm, inviting environment, designed like a local corner store where shoppers can pick their own grocery and personal care items. They are open three days a week (Mon, Wed, Sat) and have not missed one day since the pandemic began. “We want shoppers to come in and feel comfortable to talk to us so we can connect them to resources they may not even know are available,” explains Charmetra. “People will always have

need, but for those who can transition, the ultimate goal is to help them go from need to abundance.” Charmetra encourages people to remember that any of us could find ourselves in need and we can also all make a difference. “You can’t generalize people who would need assistance. Food insecurity doesn’t have a look,” says Charmetra. Small donations can be made at their 24-hour bin, or be dropped off at the pantry Monday and Thursday mornings.

Joy Bennett, owner of Jumpstart Marketing, has lived in Mason for more than 20 years. Not long after she and her husband Scott moved to the area, their first child Elli was born with five congenital heart defects. Elli also suffered a brain injury that caused cerebral palsy and seizures, which necessitated Joy becoming her full-time caregiver. It was the supportive services and schools in Warren County that convinced them to put down roots. Elli passed away in 2008, which put life into sharp perspective. “It really helped me understand what was truly important and what was frivolous,” shares Joy. Her other three kids helped her get through the aftermath of Elli’s death, and from there Joy embarked on re-entering the workforce on her own terms. Joy has spent much of her professional life simplifying the overwhelming and complex. That began with writing technical guides and instructions for IT companies. It was also key to helping parents navigate the stress and insurance headaches of medical care while she led the Family Advisory Board at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. These days, it’s creating strategies to help businesses catch and keep their customers’ attention and trust so they can grow. As she puts it, “there is always a need for great communicators.” When Joy founded Jumpstart Marketing in 2011, she was clear on what she wanted to do and who she wanted to work with. “I really value flexibility and being able to set my own schedule,” she says. “I also like being intentional about who we choose to work with. We want to work with businesses that have shared values around prioritizing family and people over profits.” For those also interested in starting their own business, Joy highly recommends finding a group of entrepreneurs

to learn from, and working with a mentor to encourage you not to settle and keep moving. “What got you to this point, will not necessarily get you to the next. Having a mentor will help you see what you don’t see yourself and encourage you to dream beyond what you thought possible,” shares Joy.

When Beatrice Balmaseda, owner of Bea’s Flowers, moved to Mason from Miami, Florida with her husband Marcos, she was happy to find it reminded her of her native Switzerland. “Miami just didn’t work for me,” shares Bea. “I’m a Swiss girl. I needed four seasons. I also love that people in Mason really care about local businesses and watch out for one another. It touches my heart to see how many people are there to help if you need it.” Back in Switzerland, Bea found an early love of flowers and encouragement from her father to follow her dreams. “It was always a dream of mine as a little girl to become a florist. I grew up in the countryside, where we had a big

backyard with tall grass and wildflowers. I would make bouquets and pretend to have my own store set up outside. My dad was supportive early on and it was always his dream for me to open a flower shop,” explains Bea. In Switzerland florists must be certified. This process includes a three-year apprenticeship where students spend four days a week working and one day at school learning color and shapes, drawing and design, botany, trade skills, and scientific names and terminology of flowers and plants. After passing practical and theory exams they receive their certification. Bea became a certified Swiss Florist in 1997 and worked in the industry for several years before going into other fields. She never lost her love of flowers though, and when she was looking for something to bring back her joy after experiencing postpartum depression, she returned to her profession as a florist. Bea’s floral style is “unique and modern,” with Calla lilies and Monstera leaves often featuring as her signatures. However, she is happy to create more traditional bouquets or custom arrangements using input from her customers who choose the “Bea’s Flower’s Signature Choice” option on her website. CONTINUED >

She currently works from home and has a limited schedule Monday-Friday which offers her the flexibility to be with her two sons. Her home business is thriving and Bea is getting closer to realizing her father’s dream by opening her own storefront in Mason. Once she has part-time employees she will expand her hours and offerings. And while she wishes her father was still alive to support her, she feels confident she will succeed. “My dad saw the potential when I was younger, but I wasn’t ready. I’m excited to take on the challenge now and I know I can conquer it because I started from nowhere and the demand keeps growing,” says Bea.

Traveling to a new country can be challenging, but if you’re coming to put down roots and pursue an education and career, the obstacles may seem overwhelming. Women Walking West (W3) helps foreign-born women legally living in the United States achieve their career dreams and education goals by overcoming the challenges of living and studying in a different culture. “We fundamentally believe education can change the world and impact the economic welfare of our communities,” W3 founder and chair of the board of directors, Dr. George Sehi remarks. “When you provide education opportunities for one woman, there is a trickle-down effect for generations. These women are positively impacting their families and communities here and around the world.” As a young man from Iran studying in the United States, and during his career in higher education advising students, Dr. Sehi was personally aware of the challenges international students face, especially women from underdeveloped countries. “Women coming to the U.S. to pursue their educational dreams have a greater disadvantage than foreign-born men. For example, in some cultures, education is mainly accessible for men, so women may be unsure about interacting in the classroom or with their teachers,” explains Dr. Sehi. Since 2015, the nonprofit organization has served 140 women from 38 different countries providing the assistance needed to be successful and productive in school and life by working to remove the cultural, academic, language, financial and social barriers they may experience on their education journey. What distinguishes W3 from other organizations is their core strategy of one-on-one mentoring. Each woman in the program is paired with a professional in their field of study. One ‘perfect match,’ as Dr. Sehi describes it, is mentor and W3 founding board member Dr. Vijaya Reddy and mentee Reham Gaafar. Born and raised in India, where she graduated from medical school, Dr. Reddy came to the U.S. in 2001.
To practice medicine in the U.S., foreign-educated physicians must complete an intense licensing process that includes exams, boards and a three-year residency. Dr. Reddy was fortunate to have her older sister, who had already navigated the U.S. physician licensing requirements, as her mentor and guide. “With her guidance, I was able to move quickly through the process,” Dr. Reddy reflects. “That is why I chose to be a mentor with W3 and help other women.” Dr. Reddy completed the licensing process and currently practices internal and geriatric medicine. She also serves as medical director at Artis Senior Living in Mason. Dr. Reddy’s mentee, Reham Gaafar, was raised in Egypt where she practiced pediatric medicine before coming to the U.S. in 2016. She wanted to continue practicing medicine, but struggled to afford the expensive exams. A friend connected her to W3 who helped her financially and paired her with Dr. Reddy for mentoring. Describing her mentee, Dr. Reddy says, “Reham is so committed and always grateful. It is very satisfying to see her persevere and succeed, even while she juggles so many responsibilities.” Reham responds, “I love Vijaya so much. She is so supportive and can guide me because we are in the same career. Even though she is busy, she checks in with me regularly.” Reham begins her residency in family medicine in July and declares, “I feel like I’m on top of the world!” Both mentor and mentee agree that Women Walking West is changing women’s lives and positively impacting society. Dr. Reddy notes, “If somebody believes in you and guides you, your path gets a little easier.” For more information about their community sponsors, mentoring, donations and fundraising gala, please visit: WomenWalkingWest.org.
