Who We Are
Patti Ghezzi is an award-winning writer with 18 years experience, including 13 at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution where she covered education, social services and other issues.
She founded the blog, Get Schooled, which was a model for education blogs around the country and a finalist for a n
ational Online News Association public service award in 2005.
What Patti enjoyed most about the newspaper business was the ability to make people’s lives better through the power of the printed word. Starting in 2000, she chronicled the struggle of Candace Anderson, a high school student whose mysterious illness was robbing her of her senses. Readers from around the world responded. When the state revoked the home health care Candace’s family depended on, news coverage got the services restored.
Since 2006, Patti’s work has appeared in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, where she writes a weekly feature on book clubs, Georgia Trend, Mother Nature Network, Adoptive Families and other print and Web publications.
As a volunteer for Hands On Atlanta, Patti coordinated a Saturday tutoring program at Whitefoord Elementary School for nine years. She was named a Daily Point of Light by the Points of Light Foundation in 1999. She has since served on several nonprofit boards.
Patti graduated from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in 1991, with a degree in journalism. She earned a masters degree in professional writing from Kennesaw State University in 2005.
She lives in Avondale Estates, Georgia with her family.
