VAL VANDERPOOL - SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING
Val has a penchant for languages and communication. She spent years studying Spanish, then lived and worked abroad for several more. Most recently she worked for a skydiving company on the beach in Mexico, where she faced the challenges of efficiently managing sales, flight schedules, and an often unruly staff, all in the laid-back beach environment where things are never done in a hurry. Having to be fast on her feet, speaking, thinking, reading and writing in Spanish and English, she served as translator and liaison between instructors and skydiving clients who were mainly European tourists. These experiences—including speaking on a microphone in Spanish—helped her develop diverse communication skills that are applicable in any media. Val is applying her exceptional communication skills to Social Media Marketing and making an impact in the blogosphere. Val spends a great deal of her time writing and developing her own passions, including teaching yoga, baking cakes, mountain biking, and most recently, opening a bike shop in Parkdale with her boyfriend Ryan.
