Meet Our New Team
It has been such a long journey to reopen and be with you all again.
Part of that journey has been building up our team, so that many hands are available to carry the work load and many sparkling, energetic minds work together on ideas.
I am so, so delighted to introduce you to our new team.
It is truly because everyone working with me is so talented, inspiring, and hard-working that we are able to bring you our new programs. I can honestly that I have never had such an easy time working with new people and getting them up to speed and contributing far more exciting ideas that I could have myself.
In addition to myself and Ania, who you may know–but I’ve included our bios below if you don’t, we now have three amazing new ladies working on supporting you in specific ways.
Please make their acquaintance:
Katie Stone,
Admin Coordinator
Katie is a rockstar virtual admin agency owner who believes that teachers are perfectly positioned to provide phenomenal business support. She prides herself on diving in and figuring out any situation. One year, she suddenly had to teach a PE class, and learned all the rules of all the games in just a couple weeks to make sure the kids didn’t miss a beat! She and her team provide us powerful support for projects big and small. In her spare time (which usually includes her kids!), she likes to mix things up with her fun, from Warcraft to cross stitch.
Keeley Smith,
Writer, Operations and Legal Coordinator
As a former lawyer, contracts and compliance are mainstays in Keeley’s wheelhouse. She loves to streamline processes and help manage projects to help people free up their time to focus on running their businesses. Most of all, writing is her thing. She gets a thrill out of finding just the right way to put something together for the right audience. She’s just wrapped up a six-month trip around Asia with her husband and 1- and 3-year-old girls.
Sarah Wakefield,
Writer and Tech Coordinator
Sarah has worn many technical hats over the years from web developer to hosting engineer to technical support. She loves that she’s able to bring the different parts of her experience together now to provide virtual technical assistance. She’s doing some much needed overhauls to many of the technical aspects of our operations, and we can’t wait for that to wrap up, because she’s also a great writer, and you’ll see her in that capacity soon. She has two adorable cats who are brothers and love to surprise folks on video calls.
Ania Archer,
Business Manager
Ania is the backbone of everything that goes on at Dream of Travel Writing, and was also instrumental in keeping the lights on when Gabi was ill for several years. She started doing customer service, and now has grown to run everything, from website updates and monitoring sales to editing videos and creating social posts, in her role as business manager. When she’s not on her computer, you can find her walking the hills of southern California with dogs she’s pet sitting or volunteering at the bunny rescue.
Gabi Logan, Founder
Gabi spent more than a decade travel writing in various geographic areas, media, and settings from ghostwriting for top Italian travel specialists to serving as a contributor editor for trade magazines for travel professionals. To prepare to best help you with the unique challenges you face, she has completed:
- more than 600 hours of paid coaching and hundreds of additional hours of unpaid trainings
- an executive coaching certification from the Center for Executive Coaching
- an Advanced Applied Positive Psychology Certificate from the University of Pennsylvania, including classes dedicated to experiential learning, work, relationships, creativity, resilience, and character strengths
- Business Accelerator business coaching with Full Focus Co (formerly Michael Hyatt & Company)
- mentor coaching with Positive Acorn, run by leaders in the coaching psychology and applied positive psychology fields
She is the primary voice behind the The Flourishing Creator blog and our coaching program, as well as the author of The Six-Figure Travel Writing Road Map and the forthcoming book The Flourishing Creator. She’s currently diving back into school after decades, working through a masters in psychology at Penn.
