Hey, faculty and researchers

I have 7 years of experience in higher education in events management, public relations, and student life.

I’ve researched how best to promote your academic persona and showcase your scholarly achievements.

Your time is important. You must prioritize research and teaching over your online presence.

That’s why my strategy is all about easy-to-follow changes to your current practices, and good communication.

If you want to take the next step, I’m here to help.

Let’s do this together.

I’m here to help readers and editors find you by promoting your work in ways that make you more approachable without compromising your privacy or vision.

Sharing your work in a meaningful way opens worlds.
