Katie Laird

Hi!  I'm happykatie - a music-loving geek with a book problem.  You are visiting my Blog and obviously wanted to know a little bit more.  Awesome :)

I am a Web marketer and Social Media evangelist at Schipul - The Web Marketing Company, an amazing Web and Social Media company in Houston, TX. I also spend lots of time help groups succeed online and doing public speaking to share the wealth.

Maybe we've met before at a networking event.  Maybe you've heard me public speaking.  Or maybe we connected somehow on the interwebs.  Regardless, I'm really glad you're here.  Read on for more info on me, the Community that I adore and other random tidbits.  Let's connect!
