Remi

Prior to founding WSFM™,  Remi Borak worked as a bi-lingual social worker in Connecticut, for St. Francis and Hartford Hospital, with a focus on pediatrics.  In addition, she served as a social worker for the Meriden School System and handled issues such as child abuse, incest and neglect. She also planned, and implemented several projects in a Connecticut school district. Remi created and designed butterfly gardens which are now incorporated into the 2nd grade curriculum, along with decorating for major school functions. Remi and her oldest son spent several years modeling in N.Y., CT., and Boston. Her most rewarding job though, was being a stay at home mom and taking care of her two boys. Remi is an active volunteer and philanthropist in the community.  Most importantly, being a child’s advocate is her main goal. Remi holds a bachelor’s degree in language arts from the University of Connecticut.  She also studied abroad at the University of Valencia, Spain.
