She took a job at a law firm, working in their marketing department, where she taught herself everything there was to know about social media and marketing. She also learned how to create a podcast from scratch, helped others with blogging and personal branding, and soon realized she wanted to help other businesses with their social media presence.

Watching small businesses grow from 0 to hundreds (if not thousands) of engaged followers that turn into clients makes her heart smile!
