After running a successful, all-female broadcast marketing company in the Northeast for over 20 years, I moved to Florida to focus on small businesses and the arts. Along with my business clients I have brought my marketing expertise to the non-profit art world. I worked with art centers and organizations in West Palm Beach to support and advance local artists.
