Social Media Consultant
Greater Pittsburgh Area
I graduated from Penn State in May, 2009 with degrees in international business and management. I currently reside in Pittsburgh, PA where I work as a Social Media Specialist for ShoutBlaze, LLC.
Codesense, LLC is a startup which I began with my business partner Michael Riley, and it has proved to be invaluable as a source of first hand experience in the web development industry, as well as helping me to get experience in business management.
Currently I am serving as an active board member of CodeSense, a small business providing "launch" services to other businesses of all sizes. We develop, market, and maintain online presences that can stand up to the challenging demands of an ever changing global economy. My piece of that puzzle is to sustain and direct client relationships, ensuring smooth communication between all of the parties involved in the process.
