She has narrowed her niche as a champion of LinkedIn because she believes it’s the most powerful out of all the Social Media networking sites.

She been a speaker at conferences such as Blissdom Canada, Editors’ Conference of Canada and the Canadian Institute of Chartered Business Valuators Conference.
