I grew up alongside two of the smartest businesspeople I know; I call them mom and dad. My mom, an independent retail storeowner, and dad, a salesman of over 30 years and now, my mom's business partner. What I learned? That you can't learn enough, fail enough, or succeed enough.
Jump-starting my academic career, I set out to be a jack of all trades in the digital marketing world, in which I received my B.S., Communications Media, concentrated in Film/Video & Graphic Design, and my M.S., Applied Communications, concentrated in Social Media Marketing. Where I take my skills matters to me just as much as learning them does.
99.9% of businesses in the U.S. are small. Today, I work for the success family-owned flooring stores around North America, providing digital support & social media marketing services to the CCA Global Partners' membership.
