MommyBlogExpert : MyBlogHer Profile

I'm a full-time mommy blogger directing and writing http://MommyBlogExpert.com which is all about enhancing family living for moms, dads, kids & extended family.  I  I am also a weekly columnist for SocialMoms, am a member of the Toyota Women Influencers Network team and do social media strategic consulting. I am a long-time member of Public Relations Society of America (PRSA), one of the Martha Stewart Dreamers Into Doers of the Week and am also a Brand Ambassador for Her Interactive and others. Past brand ambassadorships include The View, ABC's hit talk show. I'm the mother of triplets plus one more child born within one year, homeschooling them all whilst writing daily for MommyBlogExpert. From consumer products to book and movie reviews from family travel to arts/culture, my blogposts are always in-depth, entertaining and informative. Prior to launching my mommy blogging career in spring of 2009, I worked for over 30 years in corporate and agency media and market analyst relations for worldwide organizations such as Fairchild Industries and Hill & Knowlton. I've also worked as a journalist in traditional print media having written a nationally-syndicated column for Copley News Service. Additionally, I've been a high profile speaker at local and national meetings of Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) as well as many other professional organizations. In 2011 I presented "Public Relations: When the Brand is Your Blog" at the SheCon '11 in Miami and served as a panelist for BlogHer 2011. I've also talked at universities such as UCLA, USC and San Jose State, to name a few. I currently serve as pro-bono national media relations director for The Triplet Connection Convention, the world's largest annual get together of families raising triplets, quads or more. My extensive community volunteer work also includes a range of non-profits, Big Sunday-Los Angeles, Boxer Rescue of Southern California and other many community organizations. When not working, I'm playing hard with my family snow skiing, traveling, playing tennis, cycling, hiking, and swimming. Love gardening, cooking and arts & crafts too and consider myself a life-long Martha Stewart apprentice.
