Cheryl Smithem

Cheryl Van Landingham Smithem is the Connection Maven. She jokes that she's the expert at the 6 ½ degrees of separation gambit. Experienced in marketing, public relations, project management, account management and writing, Cheryl enjoys seeing projects move forward and delight the client.

As a naturally curious person, she remembers that while riding in a wagon being pulled by other kindergartners, she wondered what dragging her knuckles along the ground would feel like… a mistake she won't make again. However, her curiosity remains the driving force of her work as she devises strategy to set her client's business apart on the web.

She is energized by the ability to use the Internet to connect to so many people through social media and can be found Tweeting at @ConnectionMaven or on Skype at cheryl.smithem.
