Karen Latimer, President & Wellness Editor
Karen is a Family Physician, founder and president of TipsFromTown She loves combining all she learned as a family doctor with all she continues to learn as a mom of five to bring you interesting, useful and fun information on the Family Pages and up to date on health news.

Amy Nidds, Vice President
She left a fixed income sales more than a decade ago to raise her 3 children and devote herself to volunteer work (local charities, schools, you name it) and TipsFromTown. She has contagious energy—here’s what she loves to do with it: tweak recipes to make them healthy and gluten-free; plan elaborate, adventurous family trips, find killer deals to share, and show her children that a mother can work and raise a family. She has a husband that encourages her every step of the way. And when she can’t sleep (which is, lucky for us, every night), she bake and feeds our staff.
Heather Leahy Zachariah, VP of Marketing & Creative Director
Mom of 3 with a background in design and publishing, Heather started by redesigning the site, “I miss paper but designing pages on the web is just as satisfying.” She love getting her creative juices flowing to promote TipsFromTown and our Tips’ partners. After almost 20 years living in the Big Apple, she’s thrilled that Tips has launched in her home town, of Cleveland where she spends countless long weekends during the year and where she “summers.” “Some people summer in the Hamptons, some in the Cape. We get away from it all and summer in Cleveland!” Want to brainstorm ideas to promote your business? Contact heatherzachariah@tipsfromtown.com

Former television commercial producer turned chronic volunteer with a penchant for decorating, I am capable of organizing a fundraiser, a girls weekend, or a camping trip for 50. As a mother of three boys, if my house is clean, and they have consumed one fruit or vegetable in the last 24 hours, it was a good day. I love sharing insider “tips” for your home, and fun ideas for your free time. Contact me with suggestions and comments at fort@tipsfromtow.com
