Hello,
Creative Times Reader!
Do you
know of an organization or business that could use a hand expanding, connecting
to, and engaging with its community of patrons / customers / clients / readers?
Look no
further!
A
seasoned arts and culture writer, promoter, educator, and community-builder,
I bring to the table a carefully-crafted network of nonprofit organizations,
small business owners, civic leaders, artists and art organizations built over
20 years of living in New York City .
As a Brooklyn-based blogger and one of the organizers of The Brooklyn Blogfest, I also have a deep knowledge of and
connection to many arts and education organizations in the borough.
I am currently
available to lend my areas of expertise to a Brooklyn-based project, business,
or organization on a part-time basis. If you know of a potential partner within
your professional or social network who would benefit from my services, I'd be
grateful for an introduction.
