About Us

Sue has been the editor of Lancaster County magazine since 1989. Her love affair with magazines began as a child, with her first Christmas gift subscription to Jack & Jill. She even arrives at doctor appointments early so that she can peruse the office magazines. A graduate of Hempfield High School, Sue was the first female sports editor of the school newspaper, The Flash. After graduating from East Carolina University, Sue relocated to Washington, D.C., where she joined the staff of the Independent Petroleum Association of America. Her role as the trade association's meeting coordinator involved her in arranging fundraising events for the construction of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Upon returning to Lancaster, Sue became the marketing/advertising coordinator at Good's Furniture & Carpet. As for her varied duties at the magazine, Sue names the home features as her favorite aspect of the job and is in awe of the talented people who design, build, remodel and decorate Lancaster's homes. The one-time swim/soccer/baseball mom lives in East Hempfield Township and names gardening as her favorite way to relax.

Briana started as the assistant editor for Lancaster County magazine in early January 2015. Hailing from a small town in Alabama, Briana spent many hours as a child running around the local newspaper company where her mother worked for years. She loved writing stories at an early age, and that love grew into a career after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2005, where she majored in journalism and obtained a BA in communications. Briana taught secondary education for approximately six years before returning to her first love: writing. While ink runs deep in her veins, Briana enjoys spending her leisure time with her husband and family, listening to music, photography and exploring Lancaster’s beautiful countryside.

In 2012, Ashley received her BFA in graphic design from Tyler School of Art at Temple University in Philadelphia, where she was born and raised. Ashley now lives in Lancaster city and loves its sense of community around the burgeoning arts and music scene, which is where she gets a lot of her design inspiration. When not at work, Ashley can be found taking a walk around town with her husband and their dog or cooking up something new in the kitchen.
