medium, and producing original programming for The Ghost Channel.
Crosby's online and broadcast media experience began at The Weather Channel where she worked several years directing and managing all marketing efforts for The Weather Channel Web site (weather.com) brand and launch, 1-900-WEATHER, Radio and Newspaper Distribution, and syndication of The Weather Channel across various interactive delivery media including email and wireless technologies.
Crosby's experience also includes the marketing launch of Wachovia Investments, the investment subsidiary of Wachovia Corporation (NYSE:WB); Coca-Cola USA (NYSE:KO) the Burger King account; the product launch of Kellogg's (NYSE:K) Banana Nut Cereal; and director of marketing for several high-tech start-ups spawned from Georgia Tech's prestigious incubator, the Advanced Technology Development Center (ATDC). Crosby earned an M.B.A. in marketing from Georgia State University, a B.A. in economics from Agnes Scott College, and certificates from Georgia Institute of Technology (ecommerce), the University of London (international law) and the University of Tours (international finance). Crosby spent many years as a publicist and corporate writer, and after leaving The Weather Channel, she owned an Atlanta-based marketing and public relations firm until she relocated to Maryland in 2004.
Crosby moved to a haunted house on an old Maryland plantation and life has never been the same. The shock of leaving the city life was compounded by the realization that she had psychic abilities. Crosby's work as a medium has been in The Washington Post, The San Francisco Chronicle, The Baltimore Examiner, and Maryland's The Daily News and Record among other local and national papers. She has appeared on the Michael Medved Show as well as the local WB and Fox News affiliates and will be seen on The Travel Channel's Mysterious Journeys, in the fall. Crosby has helped historians and archaeologists discover details about the history of locations in Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania.
Her current projects include Ghost Talkers and a non-fiction book that will make you laugh, cry, and shiver as you read about her experiences on the nineteenth century Maryland plantation she now calls home.
