Biography

After working in the Organizing field (helping clients deal with their clutter both physically & mentally), I re-tooled my skills and set my sights on the uncharted territory of social media.

I now spend my days advising best practices, helping brands understand how or why their customers make the decisions they do and interpreting the data collected from campaigns.

I love managing onsite blogger campaigns, helping brands see something new through their social media channels and diving into brainstorming sessions that result in innovative ways to connect.

Of course, none of this would be possible without my extremely talented business partner (Ellen Rowan) and my ever supportive family.

My long term goal is to play a pivotal part in standardizing social media relationships.
