the global e-commerce business community since 2006. After nearly a decade
of client-side employment in Marketing & Communications and drawn to the
idea of more flexibility to balance career vs. family, Liz took the leap
into WAHM life in 2006 and never looked back. Today, Liz combines her
childhood passions: writing, speaking & educating on the things she cares
most about, while helping others sculpt their own business & personal
success.
An impassioned career woman, wife & full-time Stepmom to a special boy
with developmental delays, Liz has been involved in advocacy & awareness
initiatives for special needs and blended family success. Liz also leads
the Affiliate Summit Toronto community, in organizing monthly business
networking events for e-commerce marketing & digital media professionals.
When not buried in writing, teaching, speaking or strategic planning, Liz
is passionate about health/wellness, family & friends, music & the arts,
culinary adventures, retail therapy and her two furballs, Cleo & Freddie.
