Social Media/Websites

As the social media coordinator/blogger for Positive Press Publishing, I built an online following for More Than Rivals, a book written by a local author. While promoting More Than Rivals, I: 
  • Added about 1,500  followers to the More Than Rivals Twitter account
  • Increased website traffic with blog entries and social media posts 
  • Utilized social media to contact media organizations, which led to interviews for the author
When I started the project, the book was still in the editing stages. Now More Than Rivals is a New York Times best seller.


As the marketing coordinator for Neuhaus Foot & Ankle, a podiatry practice with multiple locations and doctors, I created online content, managing several websites and blogs along with social media and email campaigns. At Neuhaus Foot & Ankle, I:
  • Was promoted from marketing assistant to marketing coordinator within a year
  • Oversaw campaigns to promote new doctors/locations, which resulted in media coverage
  • Created the practice's first email survey for patients, which resulted in updates to the offices due to patient feedback
  • Increased web traffic by posting regularly and by utilizing keyword data to specialize content
  • Created successful web/email campaigns for the practice's nail spa, which led to the spa being fully booked for weeks

“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.”

That quote is by Albert Camus. Autumn is my favorite time of year. With the dying of the leaves, I find a new inspiration, a new source of energy. I'm not sure where it springs from, but it moves me to read, to write, to cook, and to remake my living space. It is an energy, not merely creative, but for life in general. I want to clean out my rooms. I want to rearrange for more comfort. A cleaner, snugger space. It seems like it should be a spring event, but I prefer to do it when it's cool. When I can throw open the windows and let the spice of autumn into the rooms. I am not excited for Christmas presents, or vast feasts, or parties. I am excited to feel the air, alive with cold. I am excited to bring warmth back into my fingers after long walks outside, and to drink hot cider or tea while staring out at trees, a litter barer each day. I am excited to harness this energy and use it to finish a novel, to write a short story, to create an article. I am excited to wrap up i...

Writing is a daily achievement

Well, writing has been going just swimmingly. I am chipping away at the second draft of my book while continuing to write short stories and flash fiction pieces. I am making regular submissions to literary journals and other venues, and I have a list of upcoming contests to enter. My latest little piece was written for a contest on Wattpad: #MyHandmaidsTale. I have never used Wattpad before, so that was a new experience, but Margaret Atwood is one of my favorite authors, so I couldn't pass up the chance to enter the contest (which has Miss Atwood herself on the judging panel!) And Wattpad so far has been wonderful. I love writing communities that encourage and inspire, and I've already gotten several comments and notes from readers. Check out my entry here With all the craziness in the world, writing is my refuge, and though it is hard work, I take pleasure in achieving daily, weekly, and monthly goals, and I delight in seeing my progress (and those around me) as I conti...
