ABOUT ME

Thanks for visiting my blog! 

I have an amazing job working as a Social Media Manager in addition to running my social media business on the side and playing and teaching music when and where I can (sleep? what's that?). Yes, I get to play on facebook and twitter all day and sing songs with awesome little kids on the weekend. You can read more about my marketing career on my LinkedIn profile. In fact, you can and should connect with me on twitter, facebook and linkedin

Here's my website: www.socialmediasuperstar.net

I hail from Trenton, Michigan, USA. In 2009, I went to Australia to study abroad for a few months, and ended up staying for almost four years. I returned to the US of A in October 2012 and have been wondering why ever since! I have a bachelor of arts in musicology from the University of Michigan and a masters in Journalism & Communications from the University of New South Wales. 

I play the harp and the piano. My harp is currently in Chicago, and I miss it. (Curious? See what it looks like here. You can also check out my baby--i.e. my Steinway--here and here.) I haven’t done any gigging for a while, but I'm always keen to get involved in the music scene wherever I am. 

I love to write poems, and they usually rhyme. Playing with words the way I play with music is something I just can't help. Meter is also important in my writing, and the importance of flow and they way it sounds when read aloud most likely goes back to my musical roots. Check out some of my writing here.
