Celebrating My HubSpot SOLUTIONS Partner Tier Promotion

Although this post may not captivate most readers, I felt it was important to commemorate this moment on my website. I strongly believe that celebrating our achievements is something we should always make time for.

Back in 2018, I became a HubSpot Partner and thanks to the incredible Agency Partner team, they encouraged me to make the leap into the full Agency program, now known as the HubSpot Solutions Partner program.

The Best Grinder for Your Moccamaster

The Moccamaster is a popular drip coffee maker known for its consistency and quality. But even the best drip coffee maker can't make great coffee if you're using subpar beans or a poorly-functioning grinder. That's where I have personally found the Baratza Encore to be the best grinder.

The Best Fundraising Platform If you Use HubSpot, And Even If You Don't.

With over 20 years of experience working with and for non-profits, I've come to understand the critical role fundraising plays in helping these organizations achieve their goals. As a communications specialist, I've worked on numerous campaigns and events - some successful, and some not so much.

However, for non-profit organizations, a simple phone call can work wonders in building a stronger relationship with their audience.
