I am the Founder and CMO at Idea Girl Media, and am known as “the idea girl” for my enthusiasm in successfully probing creative angles to promote my causes. I have authored such pieces as, “The Jerry Maguire Guide For Social Media Professionals,”and “Lets Get Social: What Does That Really Mean?”
Kay Frances, author of The Funny Thing About Stress, describes my technique: “She was able to take what was basically a murky concept for me and turn on the light bulb!”
My background includes more than fourteen years in international education connecting people globally and nurturing long-lasting relationships. During that time I was designated by the US Department of State for specific program work with future leader – For both the FLEX and YES programs – Working with scholarship students from both Eurasia and the mainly muslim countries, respectively. It was my enlightened pleasure to trained with a former US Ambassador and an Imam that consulted on The Hill for President George W. Bush’s administration. This positions me well for work with regulated industries.
As a veteran to the worldwide landscape, I led in-depth cultural trainings on social customs for groups outside the United States. I also led educational tours for Smithsonian Student Travel (an EF partnership), engaging followers and encouraging dialogue around targeted topics.
