Hello – my name is Holly Reisem Hanna and I founded The Work at Home Woman; an awarding winning website dedicated to helping women and moms fulfill their dreams of working at home and/or becoming self employed, while providing inspiration, motivation and support. Here’s how it all got started…

In 2007 my beautiful daughter Hadley was born, and from the minute she was placed in my arms, I knew that I would not be able to return to my full-time job as a RN Clinical Research Coordinator. With the support of my husband Jeff, I was able to quit my full-time job and become a full-time stay a home mom.

Motivated to find a way to make some extra money from home, I started asking past employers and friends if there was any work that I could do for them while caring for my daughter at home. My networking efforts paid off and in December 2007 I started working from home by completing marketing research, establishing joint ventures and working as a social network liaison for a small publishing company that a friend was working for.

During this time I learned a lot of valuable marketing skills and became very familiar with the work at home market. Motivated to become self employed and to help other women and mothers do the same, I decided to create this website and share my research and knowledge with other women who had the desire to work from home. The Work at Home Woman strives to be YOUR number one business resource & blog for legitimate work at home jobs, opportunities, ideas and support.

Additional tidbits: I graduated from the University of Texas with a Bachelor’s Degree in Cultural Anthropology and a minor in Sociology. A few years later I obtained my Associate Degree in Nursing, as well as securing my license as a Registered Nurse.

I currently live in Austin, Texas, with my amazing husband Jeff, my wonderful daughter Hadley, and our feisty cat, Alex. My favorite holiday is Halloween; I am a coffee addict, I love cookies, amusement rides, traveling, reading, cooking, being outdoors and spending time on the lake!
