According to my mom, I started writing stories at age 3. Picked up a pencil and never put it down, which explains the book, the business, and my obsession with Google Docs.

Today, I’m the founder of Verbatim, a boutique agency helping brands grow through high-impact influencer marketing, fractional leadership, and speaker sourcing. We’re also ranked the #1 influencer agency in Phoenix by Influencer Marketing Hub (which is exciting and now lives proudly in my email signature).

I help brands stop blending in, and I help creative professionals & entrepreneurs build careers that align with the life they actually want. Without burning out, selling out, or turning into a walking LinkedIn bro-post.

Founder & CEO | In my influencer marketing era and you should be too | Bestselling Author, The Unapologetic Professional

If you've got two hours and ~$100, you can help feed 10 families this Thanksgiving.

I got the "meal in a bag" idea from Dollar Tree Dinners, a TikTok creator: buy all the ingredients for a full meal, bag them up with the recipe, and donate the bags to a local org.

So I chose the casserole recipe (green beans, chicken, mashed potatoes, stuffing, and gravy). All in:

↳ Cost: $106 for 10 meals
↳ Time: About 2 hours (mostly spent writing recipes on notecards because I haven't owned a printer since 2008).

The process was way easier than I thought it would be, so I hope this encourages someone else to do the same. I’m already planning to do more this weekend.

Hi, I'm Angela!👋🏻 I’ve been a writer for as long as I could hold a pencil. I’m happiest when I'm building relationships, empowering others, and cuddling with my dog. I’ve explored 33 countries so far and am always looking forward to my next adventure!✈️

Before pivoting into tech, I was an elementary educator for 8 years. I even established an international school in Europe! Living and working abroad really strengthened my confidence, empathy, and self-awareness.🌎

I’m a self-starter with a growth mindset and can-do attitude. I believe everything is “figureoutable”. I enjoy being creative and taking risks. My love of writing, personal branding, and community building led me to marketing. 

I’ve worked at 2 startups: one in education and one in B2B SaaS. Though I’ve worn many hats, at my core I’m a storyteller and brand strategist who believes in relationship-led growth.🤝

As a lifelong learner, I’m always eager to tackle new challenges and add new tools to my tool belt! My greatest strengths are communication, collaboration, adaptability, and perseverance. I strive to have a positive impact on the lives of others and to leave the world a better place than I found it.✨

I saw a post this week basically saying people should accept every LinkedIn connection request they get.😳

Their argument was it “takes 0.3 seconds and costs nothing”.

And I totally get where that sentiment comes from.

But here’s something a lot of people don’t know: LinkedIn has a 30,000 connection limit.
 Once you hit it, that’s it.
No more connections. No exceptions.

If I accepted every single invite I received, I would have reached the limit a good year or two ago.

Here’s why I’m selective (and why it’s okay if you are too):

→ I want a network that’s meaningful. A network where people engage, support, collaborate, comment, share, and learn from each other.

→ If I connect with hundreds of random, irrelevant profiles that never interact or aren’t aligned with anything I do, those spots are now gone. And they could’ve gone to people who would’ve genuinely benefited from being here (and vice versa).

It’s not about being “exclusive.” It’s not about thinking you’re better than anyone else.
 It’s about treating your LinkedIn network like the limited resource it actually is.

You only get 30k of these little slots. Make them count.🎯

So no, you don’t have to accept every invite.
In fact, I urge you NOT to.
 Curate your space. Protect the quality of your network.
 Say “no” when something or someone doesn’t align.

Because LinkedIn works best when connections are intentional, not random.

So, how do you decide who to accept on LinkedIn?👀

No alternative text description for this image

Three and a half years ago, I was burnt out and ready for a change. I had NO IDEA LinkedIn would change my life.🤯
 I was an elementary school teacher. 8 years and 2 degrees under my belt.

I had zero tech experience and no network outside of education. I didn't know what my options were.

So I did the only thing I could think of: I started showing up on LinkedIn.

I was still teaching full-time. Working with kids all day, then coming home and posting on LinkedIn at night.✍️

I shared my thoughts on education and the job market. I wrote about my life, my dog, and how I lived abroad and established an international school. I talked about resigning but not knowing what was next. 

I was honest, consistent, and genuinely myself. I didn't hold back or worry about what others would think of me.🤷🏻‍♀️

And slowly, things started to happen:
→ I built a network of 15K+ people in 6 months → Founders and hiring managers started reaching out → People I'd never met were messaging me about opportunities → I landed 3 inbound job offers within 100 days of leaving teaching

10 months after I started showing up on LinkedIn, I started a new career in tech and marketing. I nearly doubled my salary and went from in-person to remote.

But leveraging LinkedIn led to SO👏MUCH👏MORE👏 than a new career. 
Freelance clients. Podcast features. Speaking gigs. Paid brand partnerships.  And now? I run my own business helping founders, entrepreneurs, and execs build the same kind of personal brand that changed everything for me.

I'm not where I am because I'm special (though my mom might tell you that). I'm here because I showed up consistently, shared my story, and built real relationships.

I was myself.💁🏻‍♀️

So if you're thinking about building your personal brand but don't know where to start — trust me, I've been there.

And I can help you figure it out.

You don’t need to post every single day to build authority. Consistency > frequency.

Instead, focus on:
 ✔️ Sharing practical insights your audience can actually use
 ✔️ Engaging with other people’s posts and adding value where you can
 ✔️ Showing your personality and telling your story

The right content, shared consistently, will get you noticed WAY more than daily posts that feel forced. Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable.

Don’t post for the sake of posting.🙅🏻‍♀️
It shouldn’t be a box to check each day.

On LinkedIn, you can’t (and shouldn’t) write for “everyone”.
You’re writing for your target audience. Your “people”.

So keep your unique value at the forefront.
Your skills, your experiences, your perspectives.

Your story.📖

YOU are the differentiator. 
Lean into that. Own it.💪🏻

You’ve got this!!!
