Meet the W2Writers!

Meet the W2WMagazine Editorial Committee and Contributing Writers who volunteer their time and talent to bring the W2W Community articles that educate, entertain, inform and inspire. The W2W Editorial Committee members not only lend their writing talents to the magazine but also develop and direct the creation of each W2WMagazine issue.

In This Issue:

LAURIE GRUBE, Senior Vice President, Tompkins Community Bank, W2W Magazine

KELLY HANCOCK, Freelance Writer, W2W Magazine Editorial Committee

I’ve been writing articles for Women2Women Magazine for several years now and have learned so much from all of the fabulous women I’ve interviewed. They have inspired me in more ways than I can count. I am a former elementary school teacher. In addition to writing, I also enjoy tutoring, photography, watercolor painting and drawing. More recently, I’ve been drawing pet portraits. My husband, Mitch, and I were married on the date February 29th, which also happens to be my birthday, so we celebrate my birthday on the 28th and our anniversary on March 1st when the 29th is nowhere in sight. We have three sons, and while I’d like to freeze time, we are on the cusp of being empty-nesters.

KATIE JOHNSEN, Event Coordinator, Greater Reading Chamber Alliance, W2W Magazine Editorial Committee

Katie is a self-proclaimed nerd. When she’s not cuddling with her 127-lb Cane Corso – named Mouse for obvious reasons – she spends her weekends coordinating weddings and playing roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons. An avid consumer of sci-fi and fantasy media, she is ready with a recommendation to your next favorite fictional series, or a long chat about whatever you’re currently streaming.
