  I own my own business consultation and website design business. I have worked on grants, business plans, communication campaigns, social media, and website launches for small businesses. One website example I'm especially proud of is www.erwc.org (Eagle River Watershed Council). Other projects I was honored to work on were traditional advertising for InteGreat!'s (Eagle River Youth Coalition) Summer Lunch program in 2016 (15K meals served) and their Battle of the Bands Fundraiser in 2017.
