From the time she was able to hold a pencil and ballpoint pen, you could find her scribbling notes onto the corners of napkins. As an aspiring author from the young age of seven years old, Paige loves being lost in her journal and quickly taping the computer keys as she drafts a post for her growing lifestyle blog. It’s no coincidence that her name articulates her overwhelming passion for writing, storytelling and flipping through the pages of a good book — pun intended.
Originally from Columbus, Ohio, Paige brings her Midwestern charm to the dazzling city of Las Vegas, as an alumnus of Arizona State University. There, she earned a dual Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication and Sociology, which inspired her to explore the early stages of her career in advertising.
Paige brings her full-service agency experience to life in her roles as the co-founder of Betty D’s — The Alopecia Company, and her budding marketing agency, Ballpoint Penn thanks to her time working alongside the leaders in marketing consultation in the Southwest, USA.
The oldest of three children, Paige has twin brothers and a sassy, squeaky guinea pig. When she isn’t curled up on the couch with a pen, paper, and warm candle, you can find her cheering on her favorite sports teams or streaming reruns of her favorite binge-worthy shows. She also loves to sprinkle her journal with stories of her travels across the globe while crossing off memorable experiences from her bucket list.
