Growing up in the tech world, I’ve had the privilege of working with the industries’ finest. During my seven years with MindSpring/EarthLink, I served as Senior Manager of Marketing Services (later as Senior Manager of EarthLink’s Wireless Logistics) and contributor to the organization’s overall mission of bridging technology into everyday lives. I worked with folks who defined operational best practices, many still actively relevant in today’s leading tech companies. I truly enjoyed every minute of my DOT-COM bubble days!Before coming to Ghost Partner, I was the Director of Development for Vision Rehabilitation Services, a non-profit that serves blind or visually impaired individuals in more than 31 counties across Georgia. From soliciting partnerships with prospective corporations and local businesses to managing the agency’s donor relations and grant funding efforts, I built the agency’s fundraising event brand and developed a marketing plan that resulted in four consecutive years of measurable growth. Most recently, I worked as Operations Specialist for ForMomentum, a cause marketing agency based in Atlanta. Bringing my experiences in non-profit and corporate sectors to our team and clients here at Ghost Partner has been a wonderful, collaborative affair. I love working with our clients to ensure rock solid campaign productions that produce engaging results!My belief: Operations, procedures, analytics, and best practices – these are other pillars of marketing, circa NOW!

As a child, I spun harrowing tales that left my neighborhood friends sleepless come bedtime. Despite their fears, the kids found themselves wanting more, and I developed a reputation for entertaining those around me. As I grew, you could find me onstage with the drama club or penning my own original plays for my family’s enjoyment. At the age of 12, I knew I wanted a career in television. After graduating from the University of Florida’s College of Journalism and Communications, I worked for many years in post-production as both a project manager and writer/producer for major cable networks, including Turner Entertainment. When my first child was born, I left all the glitz and glamour for diaper duty. But I never stopped writing. Through a series of gigs, I landed at Ghost Partner. Here I create content that sets our clients apart. In my free time, I enjoy hitting the road in my running shoes as well as straying off the beaten path all around the world. However, no matter where I roam, putting pen to paper is where I feel most at home.

I am an Atlanta native who was writing before I could walk. The printed, spoken and digitized word is my stock in trade, and I have plied my trade to engage widely diverse target audiences on an even wider diversity of topics. Feature articles, blogs, landing pages, websites, email campaigns, collateral, sales literature, direct response — I do it all. The rhythm of words and their meaning hold an enduring fascination for me, and as a professional writer, editor, journalist and content developer, I continually strive to harness their power to educate, motivate, illuminate and ultimately inspire action.

I have the dubious distinction of being the oldest member of the Ghost Partner team. I wish that made the smartest or most talented, but alas—or fortunately—I’m lucky enough to work with people who all excel at what they do. I’ve been writing about technology since before the Commodore 64 and the first IBM-PCjr were introduced. I first wrote for print publications and then websites (PC Magazine, Barron’s, Kiplinger’s Personal Finance Magazine, and a whole lot of others that are long gone). As I recall, the boss asked me in 2007, “Hey, do you know anything about QuickBooks?” I’ve been a Ghost Partner contributor and fan ever since. I envy my co-workers in Atlanta during the winter; I live in St. Paul, MN, with my husband, two cats, and two dogs of my favorite breed (rescue).
