Founder Marketing Coach and Social Media Strategist @From The Nest

Portland, ME, US

I\'m a Social Media Magician (okay, a Social Media Strategist, but that’s close enough!) I serve as an adviser, guide, and mentor for the business owners I work with. I\'ve been called a Marketing Maven and a Networking Expert, but I prefer to think of myself as a creative \"social media scrapbooker\" with a focus on helping business owners build brand visibility and tell their stories on social media channels. A nature-loving Mom with a background in Psychology and Criminology and work experience in both nonprofit and corporate sectors, I have a passion for people, decision-making processes, communications, and helping business owners feel empowered to reach their goals through the use of social media. I specialize in creating beautiful, practical strategies, developing targeted marketing campaigns, authentic network-building, and social media management. I help individuals and organizations get focused on their marketing goals, plan for growth, and figure out how to best match their products or services with their audiences’ needs. Since launching my business in 2014, I have had the honor of speaking to hundreds of listening ears about the power of social media, the fear we face around marketing and telling our stories, and how to use the tools of the social media trade (such as LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, and Pinterest). I enjoy speaking, bringing together groups of brave people, inspiring others to tell their stories out loud, and watching other business owners
