------About Us!


Regina Sullivan
Partner, MainLineNeighbors

Regina Sullivan is a co-founder of MainLineNeighbors. She worked in commercial production and advertising for 10 years. She worked on major brands and had major headaches. In 1998 she had her daughter Hannah and then twenty months later, her son Connor. From 1998 to 2004 she was busy being a Mom and loved it but wanted to get back to working. In 2004 she met Laura, started InWayne.com in 2005 (now MainLineNeighbors) and since then has never been happier! Recently, when she's not being held captive by her computer, Regina can be found cooking, reading, taking pictures, volunteering, running or biking, playing at the beach or watching kid's soccer, baseball and LAX games with her husband Gene (he should have his own paragraph because with out him always believing, there would be no MainLineNeighbors!) Regina is the first to admit she's addicted to carbs and lets her roots go longer than she should. She is always on a quest to bake the perfect chocolate chip cookie and is in constant pursuit of the perfect hat. And one day, yes, one day she will do the Triathlon Sprint in Brigantine.

Laura Woyak
Partner, MainLineNeighbors

Laura Woyak is a co-founder of MainLineNeighbors.  She has a degree in Marketing and was the Marketing Director for an environmental laboratory for 6 years (yawn).  In 1997, she and her husband Scott had their first child Brianne.  Seeing that this was, by far, the most important little being in their lives, Laura decided to quit her job and stay home with Brianne.  Laura and Scott pled temporary insanity when during that same month (having child #1 and quitting her job), they also purchased their first home, and bought a brand new car.  Twenty months later, Laura and Scott had their second bundle of joy, Kailyn.  Then, in 2003, they moved to Wayne, met Regina (and her wonderful family), and shortly thereafter started InWayne.com (now MainLineNeighbors).  WHAT FUN! (what kismet!)  Laura loves to end sentences in exclamation marks!!  The more the better!!!!!  (hey, she's Italian, what do you expect!)  And admits she uses way too many smile faces in her emails.  During her down time, Laura loves to do any kind of manual labor -- loves a physical challenge. Loves being outside on beautiful Spring and Fall days with her constant companion, Chester.  (the best German Shepherd mix ever!)  On those cold wintry days, Laura has been known to "overdue" fires in the fireplace and has now been put in temporary 'fire time-out' by her husband.  When Laura's family and friends are happy, healthy, and safe . . she is the happiest person on earth!

Emily Rhatican
Sales

Emily has been a subscriber of MainLineNeighbors.com from the beginning (she was originally an InWayne.com subscriber). The opportunity to work for this wonderful organization brought her out of Mommy retirement. Emily grew up here on the Main Line and attended the University of Delaware. While working for ARAMARK (a great Philadelphia company) she lived in Manayunk (so fun) and then Ardmore (just as fun). Marriage took her to New Jersey for four years where she enjoyed working at the corporate headquarters of Polo Ralph Lauren and was there for the launch of Polo.com. Three children under the age of 2 brought her back to the Main Line. After having twins, she convinced her jersey boy (husband) to move around the corner from her childhood home where her parents still are today. Her husband Peter loves the Main Line and her three kids are happy to attend the same schools mom went to. Emily must start each day with a cup of coffee (extra half & half), she enjoys exercise walks with friends, and loves to spend time with her family. If she is not here on the Main Line you can find her in Cape Cod MA, Long Beach Island NJ or (if she's lucky) on the beautiful island of St. John USVI.

   
       
Liz Collins
MainLineCoupons Sales

Liz Collins, bargain hunter extraordinaire, has found her calling at MainLineCoupons. There are quite a few people who hesitate to buy anything before checking with Liz for the best deal. The combo of a love for coupons and the Main Line is a match made in heaven for this longtime MainLineNeighbors subscriber. The Long Island (Massapequa!) transplant didn't know what the Main Line or the "shore" was all about until meeting her husband Kevin in 1994 at Muhlenberg College. She might never stop saying "coffee" like a New Yorker or use words like "hoagie", but this is now home! After a number of years in Human Resources at Time Warner and later a management consulting firm, Liz left NYC in 1999 for Wayne, PA where she was an Executive Search Consultant for Salveson Stetson Group. After several years of mommy-stuff the MainLineNeighbors super-fan jumped at the chance to join such a great team! Interacting with great local businesses while further creating more opportunities to save some bucks for herself and my community -- perfect!  
   
       
Tracy Grigoriades
MainLineCoupons Sales, Writer/Editor

Tracy has happily been a writer/editor for MainLineNeighbors.com since 2009.  In 2011, she proudly began wearing a new hat when she had the opportunity to become a member of the MainLineCoupons.com sales team.  So, in addition to scouring the area to find fun events, she's also working with local businesses to bring you ways to save money and support the Main Line economy at the same time.  Tracy has lived on the Main Line for over 11 years, first in Bryn Mawr, and then in Wayne, and wouldn't want to live anywhere else!  When not attached to her laptop, she volunteers, reads anything and everything, cooks, crafts, and watches the kind of tv that is so bad it's good.  Tracy has lived in Montgomery, Delaware and Chester counties and went to school at the University of Delaware and later Villanova, so she can tell you where to find the best pizza no matter where you may find yourself.  Before becoming a MainLineNeighbors.com team member and at-home mom to her energetic and sweet son, she enjoyed worked in Marketing & Sales Strategic Sourcing at a Pharmaceutical company.  So, to sum it all up - In the words of the legendary Mr. Fred Rogers, "Won't you be my neighbor?"  
   
       

Allison Hayden
Writer/Editor

Allison considers herself to be an extremely passionate person. She wears her heart on her sleeve every minute of every day. Is it because she was born in beautiful and unique northern Jersey ? Maybe it's because she was raised in a house filled with loud Italians?  Is it from a childhood of cheering on her beloved NY Giants on the 50 yard line 26 rows behind the team? Or could it possibly be because she was "Born This Way" just like Lady Gaga says??   Either way, this much we know….  Allison loves life! Loves hers family!  Loves and treasures good friends. She especially loves to share all her passionate thoughts and ramblings with her peeps.  Community is very important to Allison and she likes to believe she helps to make the community in which she lives a better place by becoming informed, involved and active.  So when she was asked to be the next editor for MLN e-newsletters, she saw stars. It would be a "dream job" for her to work for her crazy talented BFF Genie and her amazing bizz-partner Laura, along with their nutty team of women at MLN. To have a platform where she can share her "passions" with her community is the ultimate "slam-dunk" in her eyes. Allison is a University of Delaware Alumni where she met her “husband to be” freshman year in the library…haha, ok, at a party.  They are happily married and have 3 awesome children who keep them spinning with their daily activities.  Allison studied to be an elementary school teacher and taught for 9 years before starting a family.  Allison stopped teaching other people's children so she could teach her own…aren't they lucky??  Chocolate is her nemesis.  Sitting on a warm sunny beach or atop a snowy mountain while skiing…both with her family along with chocolate is the end all be all for her.

   
And we can't forget the two guys we spend each and every day with . . . Chester & Griffin!
