Glencoe’s ELIZABETH ROSENBERG masterfully balances life as a devoted mother to two lively boys, ages 2 and 4, with her passion for health and wellness. Rosenberg’s professional journey began in the fashion industry and eventually led to the tech sector as a pet product buyer. After the birth of her first son, she pressed pause on her career to fully embrace the joys and challenges of motherhood. An enthusiastic equestrian and fan of Pilates, Rosenberg is committed to fitness and healthy living. Her captivating personality once graced the screen during a brief appearance on a reality show, bringing a dash of glamour to her grounded nature. Rosenberg’s entertainment roots run deep, as her grandfather, Stanford S. Kohlberg, was a movie theater mogul and a distinguished movie producer from Winnetka. An active community member and school volunteer, she embodies the North Shore’s spirit and energy. Rosenberg steps away from car pickups, Pilates, and riding sessions to share her shore and city favorites with Sheridan Road.
