Sue Ann Kern earned her Electrical Engineering degree from the University of Missour during the time when computer-generated graphics and desktop computing were in their infancy.  The term “website” had not yet been used and the majority of the world had never heard of the word “internet.”  Believe it or not, it really wasn’t that long ago! Her early career as a digital designer and programmer led her to technical sales support and gave her opportunities to work with dynamic companies such as Intel, Motorola, Texas Instruments, and unknown startups such as Qualcomm.  She kept her technical edge while honing her business skills during the 13 years when she managed a tri-state, cosmetic dermatology practice. Her technical background blended with her business management experience has led her to embrace Social Media, which is a perfect mix of business and technology.

Professional Experience

Over the past several years, Sue Ann has trained hundreds of businesses and individuals to understand social media and to implement this powerful marketing tool.  She is the author of “Facebook for Smart People,” a detailed step-by-step guide to using Facebook as a marketing tool for businesses. After 6 major re-writes in the first 5 years after publication, she finally decided that it is impossible to keep up with all of the changes!  

In 2017, Sue Ann earned her Distinguished Toastmaster Award, the highest award given by Toastmasters International. During her 10 years as a Toastmaster, Sue Ann has held offices at the club and district level, worked as a Club Coach, organized several public speaking workshops and events, and is an award-winning speaker and evaluator.
