Our Team

Alex Marques (pronounced "Marks"), has been an integral part of our school community since 2017. Growing up in Dallas, Alex was heavily involved in the Jewish community. She has lived on Kibbutz Ketura, studied in Jerusalem, and taught preschool in Tel Aviv.  Alex has a degree in Psychology and Jewish Studies from the University of Texas, and a Master's in Teaching from Brandeis University.

Alex lives in Rockport with her husband Brian, who is originally from Gloucester, and their two kids, Zevi and Hazel. Outside the classroom, you can find Alex reading a book at Good Harbor, while enjoying an iced coffee.

Suzanne brings experience from years of running her own business, participating in non-profit leadership roles and holding both marketing and office management positions. A newcomer to TAA, she loves the sense of community and looks forward to further creating an environment where everyone feels included and empowered.  Suzanne oversees temple operations including facilities, and provides support to lay leadership.  A Beverly native and mother to three college students, she and her husband are often found on Wingaersheek Beach with their three large dogs.
