A bento box is a traditional Japanese meal usually served as a packaged meal, including rice or noodles, fish or meat, with pickled and cooked vegetables. The word bento originates from the Japanese Southern Song slang term pinyin, meaning “convenient” or “convenience.” Bento box styles range from simple to elaborate. The range is dynamic, which is how Bento Box Communications operates. We provide services that range from simple, single-service communication needs to more encompassing and strategic solutions.
I love telling stories. Whether it is a blog, website, video, training course, or presentation, I have always enjoyed the art of sharing experiences in an engaging and dynamic way. Though my resume shows a long history (over 20 years) of work in the financial services industry, I have spent most of my career writing and helping individuals and teams improve their communications and build their skills to better serve our small business customers. The variety of businesses and entrepreneurial stories out there is amazing and inspiring. From my experience with small businesses, I started Bento Box Communications with the focus of helping businesses tell their story using my unique skills of storytelling and information design expertise.
With a career in banking serving businesses of all sizes, I am excited to help businesses share their stories and experiences online to attract and retain customers. Creating an engaged online community is a passion that I share with each business, focusing on the uniqueness that each brings to their specific industry.
