Published Works
As a tech marketer and industry analyst, I’ve researched and written on a wide range of subjects, including the merits of using a free vs. paid hypervisor; Windows 10 usage in the workplace; how Slack is changing the way we communicate; and the impact of COVID-19 on the workplace. Additionally, as the driving force behind tech research and as “the face of PR” at SWZD, I’m often asked to share my perspectives on the current state of Information Technology through press interviews and guest bylines for various publications.
