Inspiring others fuels me in every aspect of my life. I strive to use every moment for growth and learning. Growing up, I traveled as a competitive gymnast for 10 years. Combine traveling with the twelve times our family moved, I celebrate change…especially social change for a better life for all. Thus, I have found my niche in the career of social marketing.
“Some may call me idealistic, but I believe when a person is cultivated with the belief that they can achieve anything, that anything is possible…it is infectious. This site I hope inspires others to continue learning and to continue growing, so that they may fly. And with them, others may join into the exciting field of social marketing.”

About the Author
My background is in journalism, as that is my undergraduate degree. I use to always want to write for a bi-lingual paper. So, I did. I wrote for a bi-lingual, bi-monthly (Spanish and English) paper and covered the growing Latino community. Seeing the community strive and work to advance a better quality of life and the huge barriers before them, I realized I did not want to report on the issues and remain objective, but wanted to play an integral role, influencing change for the better. So, I switched to advertising and discovered the under practiced, under developed, niche industry of social marketing and immediately knew I found my calling.
Now, I have 4+ years of non-profit experience and 3+ years of marketing experience on grassroots, local, state and national initiatives…and continue to grow. Though I may be young in years, my passion, knowledge and experience are quite matured and continue to take flight.

Hi
I’m just putting together a social media blogroll. I like to put a person’s name to a blog if I can. Is there is a reason you don’t have your name here, or should I just know?

hi,
around here we love reading social butterfly. thought you might like to take a look something of ours, too.
we just launched in beta a new social site called http://www.goodcircle.org.
it’s a whole new way for people and groups to unite around anything they believe and support, and use the power of commerce to benefit it.
you can support up to 10 separate non profits in any % you want — like being your own bill gates.
for free and in one place, you can also message members, post pictures and share videos, organize and promote events, publish newsletters, accept donations, start stores, and feature items and ebay auctions.
and everyday, through what you buy and sell, you directly benefit your goodcircle and what you believe.
love to know what you think..thanks!
best,
charlie

I am so glad someone is doing this! Social entrepreneurship is so essential to creating effective measurable change. I’ve set up projects through my company to monitor and measure social media regarding International Criminal Court, UN, and NGO projects in developing or conflict areas. People are so interested in these subjects, and so willing to get involved. Groups can leverage these disconnected online communities to effect real change.
