Travel, Wine, Dine

My blog, Travel, Wine, and Dine, which I  maintained as a creative and networking outlet for over nine years, expanded my knowledge of the food and beverage and hospitality industries. 
In addition, it has immersed me in Social Media, becoming a great asset to my career in the field. As my own social reach grows so does that of clients I am working with. 

My writing has been featured in a variety of places, most recently on Stay.com, a guide for Boston wine lovers: http://www.stay.com/boston/guides/555460-baac37b9/boston-for-wine-lovers/


http://www.boston.com/lifestyle/blogs/thenextgreatgeneration/2012/05/bostons_top_7_young_pinterest.html

It was also recognized as an account to follow and a must-read local food blog by BostInno:

http://bostinno.com/2012/08/08/boston-food-bloggers/#ss__198643_1_0__ss

I am a Stay.com local expert.

Blogging has provided me with countless opportunities for writing, creating content strategy and editorial calendars, and networking with other bloggers and media outlets. The experience I have as a result of my blog has been an asset to my Marketing, Social Media, and PR work and the clients that I work with.
