When not catering to the needs of a demanding Pug named Pepper, Bobbi Dempsey is a writer/editor for numerous major publications including NY Times, Redbook, Parents, Muscle & Fitness, Playboy, Penthouse and Wealth Manager – as well as Web sites like MainStreet.com and Bankrate.com. She is also the author of nearly a dozen nonfiction books on topics ranging from poker to real estate.
Bobbi specializes in interviewing celebrities, CEOs and other high-profile people. Her quest to add a creative twist to these interviews has led to such adventures as getting caught in a gangfight between rival rapper posses in Harlem and eating mac & cheese with a sports figure’s kids.
In addition, Bobbi frequently writes about personal finance and loves helping people become savvy consumers and discover new ways to save money. Inspired by the challenge of keeping her own kids in school, she is currently focused on writing about financial aid and paying for college.
In keeping with the college theme, Bobbi recently returned to college herself, fulfilling a long-delayed goal of finally completing her bachelor’s degree at Penn State. As a result, she is well-versed on topics related to adult learners.
Bobbi began her journalism career as a reporter and consumer writer for a daily newspaper, where she created several popular series. She has also served as a senior writer for MarketingSherpa, where she created toolkits, handbooks and other interactive content on marketing-related topics.
