Marjorie Wrenn
The Founder and President of Child Proof Advice, Marjorie graduated from college with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Management.

The inspiration for Child Proof Advice was a commitment to contribute back to society in a way not yet experienced; in a way offering a more personal reward and longer lasting benefit to others.
A perpetual volunteer and always an advocate for children, Marjorie repeatedly found herself involved in community service activities all of which centered around children. She knew it was personally important for her to draw upon the desire to protect our most valuable asset, our children. Marjorie's professional experience has crossed several industries and includes sales, management and human resources.
