With my experience and enthusiasm for marketing on the web, I have helped clients achieve online sales success in an efficient and effective manner.

A Little History
I was introduced to the Internet in 1992 as a college freshman at Penn State University. As a Behavioral Science major, I was naturally drawn to the sociological and behavioral aspect of the Internet. Fascinated by the technology, I began avidly participating in online communities. First on the early BBSes and MUDs, eventually graduating to Usenet (newsgroups) and participating in and moderating various community-based mailing lists, message boards, and chat rooms. It was hands-on learning about the intricate nature of the emerging technology, as well as Human-computer interaction.

Why Internet Marketing?
After many years of office administration, customer service, sales, and public relations jobs, I decided I wanted to focus my career on Internet Technology, and, more specifically, Internet Marketing. My passion for all things Internet consumes most of my free time. I frequently research and write about new Internet marketing trends, tools, and technology; as well as attending seminars, conferences, and also speaking at workshops. In addition to my work & research, I also serve as Community Manager of PANMA as well as a Director of Social Media Club Philadelphia.
