Wanna grab a cup of coffee and talk social media strategy? Let’s do it!

As a psychology-loving, caffeine-fueled educator at heart, I’m here to help you grow your business with a digital presence that blows away the competition.

I’m a little (ok, a lot) nerdy. Hashtag and algorithm research, anyone? I’m also passionate about small businesses, technology, and social media. And you know what I’ve learned as an entrepreneur who works with small businesses? You have a lot on your plate! In the early years, you might be doing all the things. And sometimes it can feel like you’re not making progress.

When I left my career as an elementary school teacher to start Small Town Girl Promotions (STGP) in 2017, I made it my mission to help business owners like you make the most of their time on social media. Basically, what it boils down to is this: create a strategy; implement it with consistency; and see results.

I know. It sounds simple. Too simple. But the truth is, it doesn’t have to be hard! I can help you discover the skills, the tools, and the confidence to propel your business to the next level.

Yes, I'm In!
