Welcome to the blog.
I started blogging in 2008. I loved to write, was learning about search optimization, and had a passion for storytelling. Each of these are still true today! I have renamed my blog and brand to capture more of who I am and what I do - Kindle & Slate. Building brands and strategic storytelling truly is at the core of my passion, and ultimately why I started in the field years ago.
Below you will find blog posts about digital marketing, business and my life as I navigate the ever-changing intersection of technology and communications. Thanks for joining. I welcome your comments and conversations!
