About Me

Chris debated on whether to write in first person or third person. Chris won.

Chris has built up over 19 years of work experience in marketing, donor development and influencer relations, with an emphasis on social media marketing, product launches, and digital marketing strategy. She has worked with brands such as Fandango, 7-Eleven, Crown Media (Hallmark Channel), Hyatt Hotels, Dr. Seuss Enterprises, and Nima Sensor. 

She specializes in helping woman-owned small businesses grow their digital presence through coaching and consulting. 

In addition to working 1×1 with clients, she is part of of the marketing faculty for the Goldman Sachs 10,000 Small Businesses Program.
