I have always been curious and outgoing. Consequently, gathering information led me to become a Social Media and Community Services Maven. Over the years, even to this day, I have loved to meet people. I love to network in group settings as one example. Learning about new things has always inspired me. That’s how I gather information about people and things. The result is that I became a good resource person. For example, I can be found strolling around my community in good weather. That is when I make my tour that includes local businesses. The result of this is a visit to their owners and staff. In addition, I get to chat with local residents along the way.

The In-person and Online Social Media Maven

I love being an in-person community maven as well as an online social media maven. Therefore, I welcome the challenge of thoroughly researching a topic or person. After that, I can accurately report about them.
Consequently, whatever medium I explore or report on is researched with passion. A switch goes on inside of me especially when a personal interview is possible with a primary source person. Throughout my various entrepreneurial ventures, I have always found subjects accessible and people eager to cooperate with my resources research. As a result, I learn about people, their professions and their accomplishments. This way, my fact-filled stories are available for everyone who needs or wishes to read them.
