Cheers. I’m Heather, a forty-something in midwest america. I’m a marketing and digital professional by day, an obsessed dog-owner by night. I workout a lot. I’m married with no kids.

Now, twenty years later, here we are in the age of influencers and social networks and an interactive industry that I’ve been lucky to call my profession.
Sometimes, I miss those good ole days of the small, tightly knit online journaler community that was a hodgepodge of nerds and writers and lovers of HTML. It’s been a beautiful industry to be able to watch being born and grow up and change lives.
