TapTime with: About.com Video Producer: Pelpina Trip

You can tap Pelpina for: Production and hosting of videos, host events, conduct presentations, help with brand awareness, review products/websites on video, etc.
Pelpina will tap you for: “I would love to help with a company or product’s brand awareness if someone wants to talk about their social media/marketing/PR expertise on video with me (Skype works), and I would love to teach you Dutch over Skype if you can create a cool Twitter background for me!”
I must say, Pelpina is as close to ‘Superwoman’ status as a woman can get. She’s smart as a whip, oozes with intelligence, has an endless list of accomplishments, is a proud mother, and is super humble! And she’s also very pretty. :-)
Pelpina first gave social media a try after she noticed a co-worker checking out ‘The Facebook’ in early 2005. Like many of us, she hesitated to join, but got addicted within weeks. As she continued using it, she came to realize that social media than sharing photos and funny websites, “Reading stories in the news about the impact of social media on politics in other countries truly made me think about social media’s influence. And when I was an intern at a local TV news station, I decided to give it a serious try. I worked my way up, became a web producer, and within months - became their social media reporter.”
While holding that post, Pelpina turned to social media “to find interesting stories, connect to people, and build a network of social media professionals.” This led to her finding her next job, as the host/producer of WebBeat.TV. She loves connecting with anyone who uses social media to benefit themselves and others in a positive manner, typically entrepreneurs, internet influencers, and social media professionals/techies such as bloggers, podcasters, and video producers.
Feel free to connect with Pelpina on Google Plus, Twitter, and Facebook. You can come back to me anytime, to tell me I was right about the ‘superwoman’ part.
