We definitely couldn’t be named “Best Magazine in Kansas” without those listed on this page. Whether they are producing or selling ads, writing stories, shooting photos, designing pages or coordinating the distribution of Sallie to your doorsteps, they always bring their best. Below a few of them share their favorite “selfie” and a little about themselves with readers.
MORGAN CHILSON Contributing Writer
With us from the launch of all of our EL magazines, in many ways Morgan is the heartbeat behind Sallie, crafting stories that inspire and capture What makes me “tick:” An insatiable quest to “know” things. It’s why I was drawn to journalism; to explore and ask questions and learn things. I’m always curious -- I research (and dare I say overresearch) everything, and my kids flinch when they hear me say, “Well, there was this study that found. . . “ A nice way to put it is “I love learning,” but it could just as easily be phrased “I’m nosy.” EDITOR & PUBLISHER

JUSTIN OGLEBY Art Director
Another “veteran” to Emporia Living, Justin’s ability to take all the parts and pieces we give him and design a stunning publication for our readers to enjoy is unmatched. What makes me “tick:” Getting the job done, then relaxing with my family.

BRIANA JULO Marketing Director
Her passion for getting to know her clients and believing that good marketing really does work, is one big reason why Sallie is so much bigger yet again this year. Great job leading your department this year, Bri! What makes me “tick:” I love the feeling of doing my job well. That’s what keeps me ticking.
SAUNDRA HUTCHISON Marketing Associate
It often takes thick-skin and a lot of tenacity to be in sales. Saundra sets the bar high on both! What make me “tick:” My son, good friends, and laughter. If I’m not laughing I’m not living!

CASSI ELLIS-OLINGER Marketing Associate
Brand new to our marketing department this year, Cassi’s enthusiasm for sales quickly made up for any shortage she had on experience. She’s always “in it to win it!” What makes me “tick:” Friends, family and fun! French fries and chocolate custard don’t hurt though!

JAKUB STEPANOVIC Photographer
We’re sure a male photographer from Czech Republic never thought he’d be out on a ranch in the Flint Hills of Kansas shooting photographs for a women’s magazine. But we’re sure glad he is! What makes me “tick:” I pursue a positive attitude towards my life. If I have a problem I’m trying to fix and it is above my abilities, then I don’t waste my energy with it. Rather I spend time with friends, family and myself. If I struggle, I go somewhere I haven’t been before with my camera. That’s the best therapy for me.
DAN FERRELL Graphic Designer
Everyone appreciates Dan’s advertising design capabilities, but it’s his office party-planning skills that we especially enjoy! What makes me “tick:” I don’t start ticking until I am on my second cup of coffee in the morning. Besides good coffee, I enjoy listening to a wide variety of music, looking at art, reading and keeping up to date on world events as well as current trends in design.
SHAWN HONEA IM Design Group
We’re really not sure what to do with this guy. When he’s not riding his bike he hangs around the office quite a bit and claims to know something about creative design and Irish kilts. What makes me “tick:” I enjoy having fun. I love my studio and the people who make it function. Mostly having fun!
