Welcome to MY media and lifestyle BLOG! My name is Olivia and I’m so happy you’re here.

I’m a digital expert and I want to show you how to create content like a multimedia pro!

WHAT’S THIS BLOG ABOUT?

Once again, thanks for checking out my company and blog – Get Savvy with Social, LLC! Now, let’s get social — here you’ll find tips on how to be the savviest digital socialite along with tips on how to live a well-rounded life.

I’ll be sure to share my very best media, career, blogging, lifestyle and travel advice here. I will also show you how to write, photograph and create videos and content. This blog looks at the word “social” through a few lenses – we cover all aspects of the term, from social media to living a social life!

I also offer media consulting services if you’re interested in one-on-one coaching. Check out some of my customer testimonials.

HERE’S A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME:

I’m a journalist, host, professor, visual storyteller, news and lifestyle expert, blogger, media consultant and nutrition specialist.

I’m an expert at engaging with audiences and creating content that has reached millions and millions of people around the world.

I’m an Emmy award-winning journalist who has worked for numerous outlets, including Good Morning America, ABC News, CNN and 60 Minutes. I have a bachelor’s degree from New York University and a master’s degree in journalism from Columbia University.

I’m also an Adjunct Professor at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. I am a Certified Nutrition Specialist through the National Academy of Sports Medicine as well. I speak at events and on TV panels about my work, including appearing on CBS News Sunday Morning and C-SPAN.

After 15+ years of working for media organizations as a multi-skilled and multi-platform journalist, I realized I have a lot of knowledge I want to use to help others — from digital tools to lifestyle tips to career goals. That led me to start this blog and company!

I love to write! I also love photography and videography, and I like trying and sharing new things.

Hey!

I live in India and found your video in YouTube and eventually your blog. However, I’m really interested in career goals that you have mentioned in your blog. Could you please elaborate and help me with it? I need this because I’m planning to move to Canada in few months and settle in Canada. I just need to understand the work culture, things I should be aware of, applying for jobs etc. I have lot of questions in my mind regards to that and was wondering if you could help me with that.

I know I can find this information online, but I’m not sure what to trust as there’s millions of pages of information.

Thank you!
