A self-proclaimed transplanted Georgia Peach by way of the Windy City Chicago, I wear five hats daily as a Content Director, Editor, and Project Manager for Ghost, as well as a Published Writer and Mommy. And I wouldn’t have it any other way. I’m a UGA grad (Gooo Dawgs!) with a BSED in English Education, but somehow took a detour after graduation into the financial world where I was a Wholesale Account Executive and National Sales Trainer to some of the nation’s largest banks. After having a child (and my industry crashing), I made the decision that if I was going to raise a child to stay true to his gifts, I better start doing that as well. So nine years and running later, I focus on what I liked most about my previous career: creating marketing that matters and developing content that is genuine and stand-out in a sea of sameness. Martha Stewart ain’t got nothin’ on me (except for cooking.. she definitely has me there) as visual beauty, decorating, and organization are my love languages. You can frequently find the articles I pen in several Atlanta based publications and magazines, and I’m also the co-author of The Ex-Wives Guide to Divorce. It was published by Skyhorse in 2016 and widely covered in the media locally, nationally, and abroad. I recently mentioned to a friend I’ve become obsessed with “She Sheds” and she replied, “Your entire home is a She Shed” (Google it… and you’re welcome) as it is filled with whimsy and everything I love: my young Dalai Lama like son, pets Ishy the Fishy IV and Jack Jack the beagle/hound rescue doggie, as well as a large collection of garden gnomes. On my days off I enjoy traveling with my son (39 countries and counting), especially to any destination involving crystal blue waters and limited cell reception.

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!

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).
