Rachel Wagoner’s Summary

I build new media websites, applications, and online communities. Really cool ones. I use a very analytical and strategic approach when it comes to finding out what exactly a client needs in their new media presence. I focus on asking the right questions so that the answers can add value for not only clients but their customers.

I have a Bachelors in Computer Engineering and a Masters in Communication Management. I do small business communication technology and communication consulting. I've also started my own company, Niche Media Group.
