Cassie Bottorff

Fascinated by language and literature from a young age and raised in a family that was constantly involved with building community programs, it was almost inevitable that Cassie would end up on a path that combines her love of the written word with an entrepreneurial spirit. Cassie studied advanced English and Spanish in college and soon landed in a position where these skills could be put to use by publishing content to help small business owners make data-driven decisions to build their enterprises.

For nearly a decade, Cassie has been involved with several non-profit organizations in her community that also match these goals. In 2022, her efforts to boost economic development through these organizations in rural Appalachia were recognized by state officials and she was commissioned as a Kentucky Colonel. Today, Cassie serves as the treasurer of a rail-based tourism operation in her home state in addition to continually producing high-quality content for small business owners nationwide.
