Born and raised in Marietta, Georgia, and now calling Bogart, Georgia, home, I am a wife, mother, and creator. My husband, Collen Powell, has been my steadfast partner through life’s adventures, while my teenage son, Garrett, continues to inspire me with his boundless energy and dreams. Our loyal dog, Jake, is never far behind, adding his own special brand of joy to our family dynamic.

My educational journey began at The University of West Georgia, where I graduated in 1996. That same year, I embarked on a career as an international flight attendant for a global airline—a role that has allowed me to explore the world, immerse myself in diverse cultures, and cultivate a deep appreciation for the connections that unite us.

Whether soaring through the skies or spending cherished moments at home, I’ve always sought to balance adventure with the grounding love of family and friends. Some of my happiest moments are spent cheering on Garrett at his baseball games, decorating our home, traveling, reading, or simply gathering with loved ones.

Throughout my life, I’ve been deeply influenced by the wisdom and kindness of my late father, Ken Bedelle. He was a man of genuine sincerity, a godly servant who gave selflessly to those around him. His legacy is a guiding light in my life, reminding me to listen for life’s quiet lessons, cherish its simple gifts, and never give up on dreams—no matter how old they may seem.
