I co-founded a company while an undergraduate at Harvard that was #12 on the Inc. 500 List for Fastest Growing Private Companies, and have an M.B.A. degree in Entrepreneurial Marketing from UCLA’s Anderson School. I have a lot of ideas on how to position your product or service in a way that tells an engaging story.

Let’s work together to reach moms who care about education. Who are they? They tend to earn between $30,000 and $100,000 and have more than one child.* You can reach me via email at PragmaticMomBlog (at) gmail (dot) com.

My Bio

As an undergraduate at Harvard University, I started a company out of my dorm room with two friends. No, it’s not Facebook or Microsoft (darn it!), but Aquent became an Inc. 500 Company (#12) for Fastest Growing Private Company. I attended UCLA’s Anderson School of Business for my M.B.A. and became a serial entrepreneur starting businesses that included marketing and creative professional staffing, designing and manufacturing women’s golf apparel, a print magazine for freelancers, and online recruiting models for MBAs and accountants.

Then I became a mom and stayed home after my second child was born. Now with 3 kids (ages 12, 10 and 7), I focus on education after discovering 5 years ago that my oldest, who was then in first grade, had fallen behind. I also reconnected with my love of children’s books and became passionate about getting reluctant readers excited about books.

As a blogger, you will get a well crafted, deeply researched post that reflects my authentic experience as a WHAM (Work at Home) mom. You can expect professionalism, integrity and a marketing perspective that will ponder WHO is your customer and WHAT do they care about? Connecting to my readers means a personal narrative, an unbiased opinion, and helpful advice.

I also offer banner ads but find that these work much more effectively in conjunction with editorial support. In fact, I don’t recommend banner ads without it. My readers are inundated with ads and have become immune. (I know this means a loss of advertising income for me, but I do tell it like I see it.)
