I love being an in-person community maven as well as an online social media maven. As a result, I have welcomed the challenge of thoroughly researching a topic or person. As a result of that, I can accurately report from primary resources and recorded documentation. Consequently, I have become a Resource Maven. My database of information has become a resource guide. These areas of focus are detailed in the next two pages of this website.
HOW TO FIND WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT
There are two steps in gathering information on this website. First, the visual cards pictured above represent the categories in which I am a Maven. Find the category you need. This will start your search. The five categories are:
• ALISON D. GILBERT, TRADITIONAL & SOCIAL MEDIA MAVEN
• DECORATIVE ART & DESIGN
• FOOD & INDOOR FARMING
• NATURAL HEALING RESOURCES
• FINANCE & SURVIVAL
Then go to the Resource Directory page. The list of links beside each topic card will lead you to specific researched reference material.
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.
