Hello, I’m Josh!
I’m an accredited public relations practitioner, hold a degree in communications, and have practiced school public relations and marketing since 2011.
In 2020, I left public school district communications to seek a new opportunity with Finalsite, which provides robust websites for school districts that are easy to manage.
I help school districts make the switch to Finalsite — education’s most powerful and reliable website and communications software.
