Ellen Langas Campbell
 "‘What
do you want to be when you grow up?' It's a universal question
that seems simple, but the answer can change our lives
forever. When I was young, there weren't many female career
role models, so I really couldn't picture myself as a
successful business woman. It wasn't until a college
professor helped me discover my potential that I realized I
could achieve my dreams. That is why I created Girls
Know How®. The message of our books is
simple: A girl's career aspirations, no matter what they are,
can be achieved. With desire, hard work and positive
role models, girls really CAN be who they want to be when they
grow up!"
 Prior to
founding NouSoma Communications, Inc., a marketing, publishing
and public relations company, in 1995, Ellen was an officer of
billion-dollar QVC, Inc. where she originated the Public
Relations Department and gained national visibility as a
popular on-air host and consumer spokesperson. She also is an
accomplished commercial actress and voice-over artist. Ellen
was named one of Philadelphia's Women of Distinction
and a Freedom Valley Girl Scout Council Women of
Achievement honoree. She received an
Excellence Award from Working Woman magazine and
was named one of
Pennsylvania's Best 50
Women in Business.
As Mrs.
Pennsylvania
1994, she represented Pennsylvania women, speaking on
family and women's issues statewide.
