Before I spent years in an actual classroom teaching and writing education curriculum – even my own textbooks at one point – I taught summer camp, and as an older sister I like to think I’ve always been drawn towards showing my younger cousins and siblings how to master new skills and embark on new adventures (whether all of those things were always a good idea is up for debate).

Later, while running a public relations agency in New York City for over a decade, I was drawn to teach again. This time, to teach entrepreneurs and small business owners all that I knew about getting publicity for their businesses and themselves. Those lessons began in coffee shops and in group meet-ups, and grew to national speaking engagements, to a small business community where I taught the magic of PR, to sharing PR skills with the national press, and eventually, many of those lessons, strategies, and tips became part of my ever-growing Press for Success online education platform.
