Andrea Luce does fundraising at a small local nonprofit that does taxes for low and moderate-income individuals. In her spare time, she is a facilitator at a mental health support group and volunteers by encouraging reading for elementary school kids. Outside of that she still reads the newspaper and is always listening to the newest dark techno beat that she can find. During this episode, you will hear Andrea talk about:

With the growing need to create meaningful content in a digital world, the emergence of content marketing has afforded her to share her gifts with the small business community.
