As we continue our Ed4Career Staff Spotlight series, I thought I would take a moment and introduce myself on this page!
I've been with Ed4Career for over four years and have held many positions within the company, allowing me a thorough understanding of each department. I've been in my current role as Social Media Relations Manager for the past two years and have enjoyed this position immensely. I maintain the social media channels for the Ed4Career brand, as well as develop content for weekly blogs, newsletters, and the creation of branded graphics. My primary responsibilities include creating, managing and growing brand presence across all social media channels as well as acting as an aggregator of online education news and events.
I hold a degree in Social Work from Florida State University and find that connecting people with one another as well as with available resources is a driving force regardless of my workplace.
Sharing information is, and always has been, a passion.
Outside of Ed4Career, I help run a very successful Product Development Consultancy and Market Research agency outside of Orlando, Florida. Helping technologists and consumers communicate is a specialty.
My husband and I have been married for 27 years and have two boys age 18 and 22. Once the youngest goes off to college next week, I'll be adding “empty nester” to my resume – something that I'm really not looking forward to!
In my free time, I enjoy cooking, reading and working out. My advice for students and professionals alike is to “find a calendar system that works for you. Put in due dates and work backwards to set goals for assignment completion. Always stay ahead!” And my favorite quote? “I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Maya Angelou
