Hailing from a small town outside of Boston, and having lived for many years in Philadelphia, the Delaware Valley, and the Lehigh Valley, Donnamarie Mazzola is thrilled to have crossed the river to make Burlington City her new home. She fell in love with the community spirit, the history and waterfront, and most of all, the sense that the city is on the brink of something big. “I came here eager to be part of the transformation. We have all the right ingredients, and the Main Street approach provides the structure and blueprint for community involvement in revitalizing downtown, by focusing on economic vitality, aesthetics, marketing, and organization.” Donnamarie’s career in digital marketing, technology product management, and e-commerce operations has spanned decades and industries, from internet music pioneer CDNOW, to e-commerce ventures marketing women’s apparel and pet supplies, to online counseling, employee assistance, and psychic advice services. Establishing brand strategy, content marketing, and a digital footprint is one of her favorite professional pursuits. She’s passionate about supporting small businesses, having co-founded a Venetian plastering company in 2006, and a mosaic, Venetian Plastering, and garden design side hustle serving the Burlington area, Creatrixity, in 2019. An artist at heart, she enjoys working with mosaics, fiber, and fabric.
