I encourage you to follow me on Twitter here if you have an interest in Marketing, Social Media, Social Media Marketing as I cover those topics via Twitter for my students and followers. I am a lot more active on Twitter than I am with my blog (for now!). I am also on Instagram, with a little of my personal side showing.

I do want to thank the followers of this blog, my Twitter feed, and Instagram. You have been so encouraging as I made my way through my doctoral program. I started with a 16 month old toddler, full time work, and school. And time flew by (really it did not)…6 years, 21 weeks, and 2 days.
