At an early age, my parents gave me one of the greatest gifts: a love of reading. Over the years, that love evolved into an affinity and talent for writing. Today, I consider myself a genuine and effective storyteller; not just because I know how to string words together but because I’ve learned how to make them resonate.

I recently had the incredible opportunity to attend my first Inbound conference in San Francisco. HubSpot’s premier event is the go-to destination for anyone looking to dive deep into digital marketing, covering everything from research and execution to reporting and evaluation. This is some of what I learned and experienced.
