8 Millennium - A Marquis Who’s Who Magazine ADVERTISING, MARKETING AND PUBLIC RELATIONS ROBYN ELAINE OVERBEY OWNER Bey’s Nest LLC Walloon Lake, MI With over four decades of experience to her credit, Robyn Elaine Overbey has strived as a multifaceted professional. After graduating from Michigan State University with a bachelor’s degree in business, management, marketing and related support services in 1984, she began working as a marketing representative for Legal Data Systems. In this position, she sold sales and marketing software and hardware to law firms, aiding them in updating and automating their processes. In 1987, she moved to Chicago and joined a competitor company, Barrister Information Systems. After spending five years as a sales and marketing representative, Ms. Overbey decided to pursue a career in education. Returning to school, she received a master’s degree in education from DePaul University in 1992 and started a new career as a teacher at St. Richard Catholic School. After a year, she shifted to teaching in the Chicago Public School System, where she remained until 1996. Ms. Overbey eventually exited the field of academia to focus on raising her children. Later, when her children were older, she ventured into real estate with her family, creating Bey’s Nest LLC in 2021. Currently, she maintains the company as its sole owner, a role in which she utilizes her prior experience working in sales and marketing. Ms. Overbey considers her most remarkable career accomplishment to be her years as a dedicated Chicago public school teacher, which remain profoundly impactful to her. Outside of motherhood, teaching has been the most challenging responsibility of her life, and she is proud to have performed with grace. As a teacher, she oversaw a classroom of over 30 students, with many unable to read at their grade level. Her students, some of whom spoke English as a second language, came from diverse backgrounds. Through encouragement and patience, she raised the reading levels of those falling behind and balanced the many differing experiences and cultures present in her class. As a bonus, this experience led her to live in Walloon Lake, where she has been able to further enrich her life, both professionally and personally.
