Dorie Morales Publisher & Editor Green Living Magazine
Dorie has been in the magazine industry for over 20 years, starting in magazines for the multi-family industry. She worked for the Apartment Guide as a salesperson and then Publisher. In 2004, Dorie and her former business partner started Apartment Showcase. They later sold to Apartment Finder in 2007 where Dorie stayed on as Publisher until starting Green Living Magazine. Green Living Magazine was a business opportunity that brought her back to her roots. Dorie grew up in NJ in a home with an acre garden and always loved changing of the seasons. However, it was witnessing the birth of baby cow as a foreign exchange student in Espelette France that changed her life and shaped a deep appreciation of the earth. Dorie is very passionate about an eco-conscious lifestyle and sustainability because she has lost all of her immediate family members to cancer, dementia, and medications going toxic in their body. She takes it as a personal mission to teach everyone that there are simple solutions that they can do in their daily life to create change and make an impact.
