Connect with Claudia
After working as a High Tech Recruiting Consultant in Silicon Valley for over 20 years, Claudia naturally embraced social media when it became mainstream. As an early adopter of LinkedIn for networking and recruiting, she became well versed in applying social networking for business. She has studied all of the platforms, including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+, YouTube, Pinterest, and Instagram.
In 2012, Claudia left her corporate cubicle to focus on Wordflirt® full time. As a lifelong writer of stories, poetry and articles, Claudia was able to incorporate her love of writing with her passion for networking to morph Wordflirt® into the company that it is today. It has become her personal passion to help individuals and small businesses succeed in creating a powerful digital presence.
Claudia lives in Silicon Valley in Northern California with her husband and four daughters. She enjoys cooking, traveling, long walks on the beach, reading, and a good cup of coffee.
