Long Bio (best for written features)
Afton is a Digital Strategist with over a decade of hands-on experience with some of the biggest thought leaders online. Her passion for design coupled with her vast technical skills has made her a leader in her field. She is a guiding light for many online, and an action-taker, earning her the nickname Action Negrea. Her gift for distilling the complicated parts of digital marketing into easy-to-understand concepts has helped her clients and students to map, launch, and grow profitable and influential businesses and brands, all while having the best fun.
Her Path to Digital Marketing
Afton grew up in the outskirts of Toronto, Canada. At 17, she realized that there was more out there to explore, so she moved to Glasgow, Scotland where she attended art school. From this experience, she learned how to draw inspiration from the world around her, from culture to fashion to interior design. After four years, Afton returned to Toronto where she attended college for Interior Design, then interned for the prestigious II by IV (two-by-four) Design. After interning, she went out on her own as a freelancer, worked in television, and even became published with her designs on small spaces for the cramped condo market of the city.
After some time in Interior Design, she moved to Brescia, Italy and gave birth to her daughter. As she didn't speak Italian, and she wasn't able to use her skills in Interior Design, Afton took to the Internet to find work while staying home with her daughter. Low and behold, she realized that she loved Digital Marketing and that her design skills were an incredible asset for her potential clients.
Working From the Bottom Up
Afton worked from the bottom up, starting as a Virtual Assistant, then as a project manager, moving into social media, and finally landing as a Digital Strategist, a role she has kept for over a decade. She has always believed that learning things from the ground up would be vastly beneficial, not only for her but also for her clients who look to her to provide the best possible guidance.
With the greatest fortune, she has been able to work with such visionaries as Robin Sharma, Brendon Burchard, Dr. Mark Hyman, and even names like Deepak Chopra and Marianne Williamson during her time at Bodhi Tree.
Afton's Mission
Afton's mission is to help those who have something incredible to give to the world to be seen and heard online, whether it be by launching their own courses, creating services that are fueled by passion, or becoming the thought leader that they are meant to be.
