Meet your instructor...

Most of you know me as the author of INFLUENCER: Building Your Personal Brand In The Age Of Social Media.

But I've also led the influencer teams at Collective Voice, Hearst Magazines, and Horizon Media where I worked with the top brands and influencers in fashion, beauty, home, travel, fitness, television, film, and more.

In my early days, I was the founder & editor of an award-nominated NYC nightlife blog and participated in campaigns for The Gap, Svedka, Popchips, Vaseline, and Nivea where I was the North America Ambassador and got to hang out with Rihanna on a cruise ship in Germany.

I've been in this business for a long time and Influencers are my people.
