My journey began in education—I became a teacher and even won a $100 bet with my dad that I'd graduate with a teaching degree. But in 2007, blogging and social media captured my attention. I transitioned from the classroom to digital marketing and spent over a decade as a professional blogger, marketing consultant, and influencer.

Through this work, I've served as a fractional CMO, grown and led a team, and helped hundreds of clients develop and implement campaigns that work. Though I may not be in a classroom anymore, I'm still a teacher at heart, guiding executives, business owners, and teams toward smarter, more impactful marketing. 📌 Learn more: http://keepitrealsocial.com
