About Us

I am an entrepreneur at heart and love working with others who are the same. I left corporate America almost 20 years ago and haven’t looked back. I was a Vice President of Sales for an accounting/budgeting software company when I decided to take the plunge into entrepreneurship full time. Prior to that, I spent almost 20 years in education, while married to a Dentist, teaching at the college level and working as a trainer for a corporate training business part-time.

My first foray into business ownership started when I became a franchisee. A partner and I owned 10 locations of the fitness franchise, Curves for Women from 2002 until 2009. It ended badly; I learned that I like to be in control of my destiny too much to be a franchisee, subject to someone else’s directives. However, it was during those years that I developed my love of marketing.

In 2010, I started exploring what it takes to be an expert on the Internet. This knowledge led to the creation of AFP Marketing, and the BizTV Shows® network brand, now called Elite Experts Network, which features local experts providing quick tip videos to help small to mid-sized business owners either grow their business or improve their quality of life. We also offer the experts the opportunity to showcase their expertise in print, in our digital magazine, Soar to Success.

Overtime, our clients asked for more, which led to an exciting transformation as our video production agency became full service, embracing the world of growth consulting, strategic marketing planning, digital marketing, marketing automation, and content marketing.

I am a member of NAWBO, the National Association of Women Business Owners, and over the past seven years have served on the Board of the Cleveland Chapter as Director of Marketing, Director of Programming, President and Past President.

My education, if you care about that – it was many moons ago, includes a master’s degree in Accountancy from Virginia Tech and a bachelor’s in Human Resources from Michigan State University.
