Nancy is a data-driven storyteller and digital marketing strategist who excels at building organic audiences with words. She attained her journalism degree just as “the Internet” was becoming mainstream and has enjoyed growing, evolving, and maturing with the platform formerly known as “new media.” When not referring to herself in third person for bio blurbs, you’ll probably need a search party to find her watching crafting videos on YouTube at 2x speed or help her crawl out of the latest whack-a-doodle internet rabbit hole she fell into.
What piece of advice would you give to your younger self?
Don’t pass things up because of what other people might think of you.
What is your favorite piece of technology / software?
The internet. I don’t know what I would be doing without it.
What is something others don’t know about you?
I started taking taekwondo as an adult. In my 40s. My knees aren’t happy about it, but I’m currently nine belts in (red/white), so I guess it’s too late to quit now.
What is a book you recommend?
Anything by Karen Salmansohn. I discovered one of her books at the library very early in my career, and the lessons I learned in How to Succeed in Business without a P***s: Secrets and Strategies for the Working Woman taught me far more than Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead ever did.
If you could solve one major world crisis, what would it be?
Humanity’s inhumanity to our fellow humans.
