I have loved being an in-person community maven. In addition, I equally enjoy being an online social media maven. As a result, I have welcomed the challenge of thoroughly researching topics and people. As a researcher, I use both primary source interviews and recorded documentation. That is how my database of information has grown to be a resource guide. Coincidently, it is why I have become a Resource Maven.
My primary areas of focus are detailed in the next page of this website, The Directory of Resources.
HOW TO FIND WHAT YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT
There are two steps in gathering information on this website. The first part is to find the category you wish to explore. Each is represented by a card pictured in one of the five areas listed below. Go to the Directory of Resources page. The links beside each topic card lead to specific reference material. Fining the desired link next to the correct topic card is the second part.

How I Became A Resource Maven
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.
