Meghna Mahambrey began her career in early childhood education, then transitioned to teaching at the college level for over a decade. She designed popular courses on intimate relationships and human sexuality at Wright State University, Ohio State University, and Ohio Dominican University then went on to earn a doctoral degree with intentions of becoming a professor.

While in graduate school, Meghna met her now-husband, Andy Kuss, who became closely involved with her academic work. With his support, she presented research at national conferences, served as President of her department's student organization, and won prestigious awards for distinguished teaching and leadership. Meghna and Andy did an ugly dance when Psychology Today magazine called requesting to feature her research on infidelity, and they cried tears of joy together when she successfully defended her dissertation.

​

In 2019, Meghna was invited to speak at TEDxColumbus. She and Andy spent many late nights brainstorming how to distill their shared vision into a 10-minute talk, which they titled "Birds & Bees: Rethinking Relationship and Sexuality Education." The response was overwhelming, with emails and phone calls pouring in from the community offering heartfelt support for their unique ambitions.

Inspired by the positive feedback, Meghna and Andy founded SPARK in 2020 with a mission to help people build happy, healthy love lives. They originally focused on workshops and offered fun, interactive experiences for couples at popular venues around town. After many requests from eager clients, they added one-on-one coaching as a modern alternative to couple's therapy. Over the past five years, SPARK has expanded to offer retreats, academic partnerships, corporate events, and forward-thinking collaborations with local art museums, theater companies, restaurants, churches, and more. SPARK also has a blog, podcast, and YouTube channel.

Meghna and Andy live in Columbus, Ohio with their beautiful blended family.
