We all change and grow. We don’t just happen as we are. We come by way of yesterday.
– Sinclair Ross, As For Me and My House
I am so thankful for my “yesterdays.” Over decades I’ve invested heavily in two areas: exploring the power of great communications, and mastering the administrative challenges of healthcare and academia. In early 2020 I began to work with social media. I was instantly captivated by the ability to build powerfully engaged communities. Montrose Street Media capitalizes on all of my yesterdays, my diverse education and experience. Let’s collaborate.
