I am the Founder & CEO of "Newsmaker Marketing", a modern public relations & marketing agency that builds up clients' owned media just as much as they focus on earned media. We believe in the power of storytelling. As a three time Emmy Award-winning journalist, I can produce video content that can drive your story on your website, social media, and beyond. I also have a vast network of media & business connections to amplify your message and strengthen your business. I'm also the founder of "The Connect-Her", a free women's network that uplifts its members through networking, mentoring, and friendship. Together, we are stronger. There is enough room for all of us. They say it's all about who you know, we'll know everyone. ❤️
