Paige Bowers is a Southern girl with a Parisian soul. A well-published national correspondent based in Louisiana, she also has a graduate degree in Modern French history.

Paige began her writing career on the foreign desk of a Washington newspaper. After two years of interviewing a global cast of characters that included a Nobel laureate, the first female leader of a Muslim nation and assorted prime ministers, she left the nation's capital to write about high society in Palm Beach.

Eventually Paige decided it was time to return to her Southern roots, and for more than a decade, she has covered breaking news and business, personalities and lifestyles from her home in the Southeastern United States. Her work has appeared in TIME, People, Thomson Reuters, Glamour, SELF, Pregnancy, AirTran Airways' Go, The New York Times, Allure, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Atlanta Magazine and Palm Beach Illustrated.

Classically trained on French horn, Paige is an avid cook and vegetable gardener, a clumsy knitter and yogini (but she's working on that), a bookworm and proud mother of a seven-year-old girl. In January 2012, she had a cameo appearance on the CBS reality television show "Undercover Boss," showing her acting range by accepting a glass of wine from Kendall Jackson C.E.O. Rick Tigner, who was undercover in the Murphy Goode tasting room. She hopes this performance sets her up for a walk-on role in the AMC drama series "Mad Men" someday.
