Quinn Lundberg Biography

Quinn Lundberg had worked as a professional dancer in her youth, but later moved to New York City to receive higher education. During this time,she met Melissa Leschuck—who would later become her business partner—and also worked with UNICEF at the United Nations. In 2013, she teamed up with Leschuck to establish the nonprofit organization, ‘Growing Voices’, which aimed to support local leaders in making sustainable community change. She also travelled to many developing countries across the globe to gather information on creating community in remote spots around the world. To further arm herself with better knowledge, she completed her master's degree in Public Policy with special focus on International and Nonprofit Policy. Lundberg, who often gets inspiration from women able to manage countless responsibilities within a system that contains institutional barriers for them, went on to co-found the educational business platform LOOM in 2016 in Los Angeles, California in order to "empower people as they navigate their sexual, reproductive and parenting experience." She also serves as the Chief of Social Impact of her company and has worked with people from different backgrounds. Nevertheless, it is only after her marriage to Zach Galifianakis in 2012 that she gained the attention of international media.

Quinn Lundberg was born as Mary Quinn Lundberg, in 1983, in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. One of her cousins, Charlie Clarke, is the mayor of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in Canada. She grew up spending a lot of time outdoors and often went on hiking during her childhood. She trained in ballet and modern dancing, and performed as a professional dancer during her early 20s. She eventually relocated to New York City to teach dancing and at the same time attended Hunter College to earn her undergraduate degree in International Conflict Resolution. She completed her graduation under the CUNY Baccalaureate Program in New York City in 2010. After earning her degree, she went on a worldwide tour covering several third world countries – an experience that inspired her to found the charitable organization Growing Voices. She later went back to college to earn her Master's degree in Public Policy from University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2014.

Quinn Lundberg was in a long-term relationship with Zach Galifianakis which only came to fore after the couple tied the knot in a private 30-minute ceremony at the UBC Farm in Vancouver, British Columbia on August 11, 2012. According to guests, on the invitation cards, Zach had put a drawing of himself as a troll and his bride as a stunning tall blonde princess. The two always make their best efforts to keep their personal lives private, which became apparent after they kept the name of their baby boy secret following his birth on September 7, 2013. Zach missed the premiere of his film 'Are You Here' to be with her during the birth.

Referring to the fact that they didn't reveal the name of the child, Zach once joked that they call him 'it' at home and are waiting for him to be 16 years old and pick a name for himself. They welcomed another boy on November 7, 2016, but this time they failed to hide the baby's name, which was revealed to be Rufus Emmanuel Lundberg by the media. The couple owns a farm in Sparta in northeastern Alleghany County, North Carolina and plans to raise their kids there. Lundberg, who has a successful career away from the glitters of the entertainment industry, is not very happy about the extra attention she gets thanks to her celebrity husband, but supports him wholeheartedly in his endeavors nevertheless.
