Meet Maëlle! By day, she’s a career and leadership coach who helps her clients align their career to what matters most to them. By nights and weekends, you’ll find her on a family bike ride, fueling up with oat lattes, or soaking up Montclair’s local energy. She joined RecRoom to be surrounded by other passionate doers - and we’re so glad she did!

Where you live: Montclair, NJ
Where you go for your fave cuppa - and what’s in it: So many local places I love - always an oat latte - and my new fav is Libelula.
Perfect Montclair weekend: Start my Saturday at Yoga Mechanics, family bike ride to get coffee and bagels, visiting a Montclair event whether it be the art show at Anderson, Jazz Fest, or the Montclair Flea, and then dinner out at a favorite local spot.
Career advice you’ve been repeating lately: Focus on roles that play to your strengths - work you’re good at and that gives you energy. Build real connections and a community to support you. And skip the apply everywhere approach or letting AI write your materials. Clarity and authenticity always go further.
Fave fall flavor: Definitely apple cider (but really, apple cider donuts!)
Last great book you read: The Body Keeps The Score by Bessel van der Kolk, MD.
Why you joined RecRoom pre-opening: I couldn’t wait to be part of a space that brings people together. After years of working from home, I am craving connection and energy - being around other solopreneurs and professionals who are building great things in Montclair.
