------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!
 
       
Natalie Zipkin

Natalie has been part of the zany MLN crew since 2008.  She is grateful for the many amazing, fun people she's met along the way.  Natalie is married to a wonderful guy named Jay and is the proud mom of two awesome daughters, Leah and Ilana.  Koby, the cockapoo remains her best canine friend. :) Natalie was an editor for TV Guide Magazine for 6 years and then became a Senior Account Executive for a local allied healthcare publishing company. In her spare time Natalie sings in an all women's community service choir called "The Noteables" where she performs at various assisted living facilities throughout her community. She spends way too much time on the computer and also admits to being an "American Idol" and "Words with Friends" addict.  When Natalie is not working, she is either singing, cooking, lunching with friends or shopping.  Life is good! 		   
       
Tracy Grigoriades
Business Development, Writer/Editor
Tracy has happily worked for MainLineNeighbors.com since 2009.  She has lived on the Main Line for over 14 years, first in Bryn Mawr, and then in Wayne, and wouldn't want to live anywhere else!  When not attached to her laptop scouring the area for fun events and local news, 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?" 		   
       

Jane Frantz
Sales
While Jane only recently began working for MLN, she's been a subscriber since the early days of InWayne.com. Jane has lived in Wayne since 1999 and is the mom of two who attend Conestoga High School. She can be seen tooling around town in her Honda CR-V filled with multiple tennis racquets, sneakers, workout clothes and a basket of balls in case anyone calls about a game, a run or walk, or a cross-fit session. When not in her car, she can be found throwing tennis balls for her golden retriever, cooking a great meal (but despising clean up), coaching USTA Junior Team Tennis, or offering her warped witticisms on life to whatever friend is available. She prides herself on knowing the names and stories of the clerks at local businesses (it's a joke in her family that she knows these details). She entertains her children by trying to roust them from their beds at the beach to watch every sunrise. Her Aries personality comes out when she encounters rudeness and poor sportsmanship. Jane enjoys the idea that maybe someday she will carry around a giant bottle of Wite-Out to use on grammatically incorrect signs around the world. On any given day, she drinks more coffee than medically recommended. At 52, she is contemplating a bellybutton piercing just because she can, but not a tattoo ever because she believes in the scientific principle of gravity.

   
       
Ashley Force
Sales
Ashley joined the MLN crew in February 2015. She was raised in Willistown next to the farm where she kept her horses. Ashley spent her youth as a professional horseback rider and it's a passion she hopes to reclaim one day soon! She graduated from West Chester University in 2008 with a degree in Sociology and Psychology. Before starting a family she worked as an outside sales executive for a local technology company. Ashley resides in Wayne with her husband, Barry, who is the ying to her yang. They have two little boys Barry V and Reed. Ashley is still trying to convince Barry to have just 1 more baby to see if she can have lots of pink in her life with a little girl :) She also has a crazy white German shepherd named Aston that she rescued and surprised Barry with when they first started dating. If she could, she would have a farm with many many farm animals! She is obsessed with Dr. Pepper and drinks at least 3 a day to keep her moving and grooving with 2 very young kids! She is a self proclaimed food hoarder so if there is ever an apocalypse, there will never be a shortage of food at her home! In her free time, Ashley is always trying out all the fun things that the Main Line has to offer with her kids. So much to be grateful for!

    
       
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.

    
         
  Leslie Elken
Writer/Editor
Leslie Elken is a new kid on the block at MLN, but she comes from a tribe of Main Line Lifers. With parents who grew up in Lower Merion , grandparents who took her to Hymie's and Top of the Barclay , and family gatherings for 4 th of July fireworks in the Thomas Wynne Apartment's parking lot, her roots and fond memories are deep. Leslie grew up in Devon , and one of her favorite childhood memories is listening to the Devon Horse Show Announcer while swinging in her backyard. She attended T/E schools K-12, and even managed to put the high school up for sale once (and got caught). She spent her summers on Martins Dam's pool deck in Wayne . Though she headed out of town to the suburbs of Chicago to go to college, the call of home was strong, and she happily returned to head to Penn for grad school. Since then, she has called Paoli and Berwyn home. Her career over the years has involved everything from coaching swimming at Martins Dam, to teaching Middle School English and coaching, and she even had a stint at her old alma mater ( Conestoga ). Right now she also wears a hat as a Business Internship Supervisor at one of the local universities. She loves to build and maintain outdoor gardens, though she has killed ever indoor plant she has ever owned, including cacti. She can't get enough of her kids, and for exercise she walks her sweet dog, Ellie the labraweenie. People often stop her to inquire what exactly Ellie is, because the lab dachshund mix is not often seen in nature. Leslie is always happy to stop exercising to answer any questions. 		   
           
               
And we can't forget the three guys we spend each and every day with . . . Chester, Nikko & Griffin!
