About Amalie Shaffer:

After serving for nearly 7 years in the Navy, Amalie Shaffer transitioned to the Navy Reserves. From there, she transitioned right into entrepreneurship with a professional organizing business. After finding online resources to take her business skills digital, Amalie decided to shift gears and offer digital marketing services.

 

Amalie’s always had a serving heart- she’s offered her time to EMT services, senior dogs, and other forms of volunteerism. So, it made perfect sense to her to serve online entrepreneurs like you with her strategy and organization skills.

With Amalie as your Integrator and project manager, you can be confident knowing your businesses will reach uncharted territories and break into new revenue streams with effective and efficient teams.
