A love of books, an opportunity to be closer to her daughter’s and an obvious joy in her love of library sciences led Rownak Hussain to become the director of the Hopkinton Public Library. “I have been the Director since 2005,” Hussain said. “I moved to Hopkinton and the opportunity to leave academic libraries and come back to a public library presented itself.

Sometimes unwanted change can lead you to a career you never thought possible, and sometimes a trip to a bead store to feed your love of shiny things can turn into a lifelong obsession. Tricia Kozub, owner and founder of iDazz creations, experienced this first hand when her husband was asked to relocate to California. Kozub went reluctantly and her life changed. “iDazz started 12 years ago in California as a trip to a bead store that rapidly turned into an obsession,” Kozub said. “I was not happy about moving, but I loved that store and people were always amazed when I said I made my jewelry myself."
