Who we are
About Betsy Gartrell-Judd
Co-Founder/Editor-in-Chief

In
1991, I graduated from The Ohio State University with a
Bachelor of Arts in English. Had you asked me then where
I saw myself in ten years, never could I have imagined this
destiny! While my background is in marketing, publication
design and writing, I enjoy web development
and graphic design; co-developing the Myria sites has been
a natural extension of my skills and interests. Helping
to nurture this enterprise has been a meshing of everything I had learned and loved to do in all
the years leading up to it. But never did I realize where
the path was taking me.
More importantly, however, my work on this network is a
labor of love. Since I have been
online, I have been able to take charge of my life in ways
I've never dreamed possible. I have been inspired, supported and encouraged by women
I have met, and now I am thrilled to have the opportunity
to give something back.
My
home is in rural south central Ohio, where I live with my
husband of ten years and our three daughters on a peaceful
and wooded five acres. In my copious free time, I enjoy
reading, cross-stitch, scrapbooking, decorating and gardening,
socializing and shopping. You can e-mail me at betsy@myria.com.
About
Nancy Price
Co-Founder/Editor-in-Chief

The
basic concept for Myria was conceived soon after
my first child, and had been percolating in my mind for about
five years. It's been wonderful working with Betsy to create
a new, broader-based web world that empowers, educates, enlightens
and entertains women who are mothers.
Already
a freelance writer - my work has appeared in Parents,
Parents Expecting, Baby, the San Francisco Chronicle
and elsewhere - I taught myself web design because I loved
the creativity it offered. It was also a way to write for
a larger audience.
Having
been active online since early 1994, I have great admiration
for the Internet and "virtual" relationships. (Point in
fact: Betsy and I have never met in person, but know each
other because we both delivered babies on the same day in
March of 1996.) In the offline world, I live where I was
born - the San Francisco Bay Area - with my husband
and our four children. You can e-mail me at nancy@myria.com.
