Jen Cusack is a proud native Bostonian who has lived in Needham for 25 years. While she spent her career in non-profit management and fundraising, she has always loved stories best: reading them, writing them, and sharing them. She is the daughter of a librarian and a history professor, so it's no wonder that she has towers of books all over her house and is a tour guide with Boston by Foot, leading walking tours to explore Boston's neighborhoods and their many amazing stories.
