I am a social media strategist who consults with small businesses and entrepreneurs on how to build value and enhance their social relationships online and the importance of shaping their brand online. I offer entrepreneurs and small business owners valuable tips for creating an effective and efficient social media strategy. I also advise small businesses and entrepreneurs on the importance of having an integrated marketing plan to include traditional marketing strategies along with social media. I speak on a variety of online marketing social media topics. Each of my presentations can be structured to any audience's level of expertise and to benefit any industry. My main focus is developing strategies for small businesses to grow their online presence and social relationships. In addition to speaking and consulting, I work for Cape Cod Community College Workforce Education Resource Center overseeing non-credit workforce programs, on-line learning platforms, social media marketing efforts and new initiatives. I also teach social media certification courses through the community college. In my spare time I am a passionate dog owner who can be heard bragging about my energetic and loveable dog named Gracie over at www.GraciesBark.org, New Englands premier pet friendly resource. Gracie and I are dedicated to helping pet owners and their dogs find fun places to go fun things to do throughout New England and beyond.
