Kathleen has spent most of her professional life balancing work and motherhood. A mother of five children, she has been a stay-at-home Mom, worked part time and worked full time. She believes the optimum balance is achieved when she is able to spend ample time enjoying and raising her children while still pursuing a professional career.

Kathleen majored in Marketing in the College of Business at Ohio University. Her career began in sales and training in the information technology industry. She has an extensive background selling to information technology departments of companies in the United States and has worked for companies such as AT&T, CompuServe and DPEC, Inc. (now MindLeaders, Inc.)

It was at DPEC, Inc. that Kathleen had her 2nd child and wanted to continue in her sales position, but on a part time basis. DPEC agreed to the part time plan and for Kathleen, it became an opportunity to enjoy the best of both worlds. She realized that others also wanted and would benefit from being able to shape their work hours to fit their needs and the concept for Needlestack Jobs was born. After all, necessity is the mother of invention.

Kathleen resides in Columbus, Ohio with her husband Wade, and their five beautiful children.
