About Me
Hello, I'm Shalini. I started my professional life working in the fun and fast paced industry of radio broadcasting. After soaking in the experience in any way I could, I became an on-air radio host in Chicago. This led to a decade of involvement both on-air and off-air with numerous radio stations and positions in the midwest. When I finally ‘hung up my cans (headphones)’ and decided to leave the radio business, I went on to earn a M.A. in Digital Arts and accepted a position with SCORE - Mentors to America’s Small Businesses as Communications Manager in the D.C. area office.
It was at SCORE that I sharpened my skills of marketing metrics using platforms like Google, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter etc. With a solid team, we were able to increase website visits, time spent on the organization's website, overall media reach, Twitter/Facebook/YouTube followers/subscribers, and overall national visibility.
Small business ownership and entrepreneurialism became a family affair when we opened a comic book and gaming retail store. We used a broad spectrum of traditional, non-traditional, and digital marketing to create substantial growth year after year. Quality customer service and a positive customer experience were paramount in everything we did. Our store was given numerous awards from local media and in 2017 we sold to explore other new adventures. Owning and operating a retail business and managing everything from client/community relations, to capitalizing on current trends, gave me skills that I look forward to sharing with you.
Since that time, I've taught English online to students from 5 to adult in Jakarta, Indonesia. Additionally, I teach family music and movement classes and am a licensed REALTOR® working in various capacities associated with the real estate industry.

Fun. My goal for any class I teach, meeting I lead, event I emcee, or campaign I implement is to have fun. I truly believe that when we are having fun, anything is possible. I will develop ways to make our time useful based on your level of skill and comfort. Coaching and teaching are processes and the journey should always be fun.

The class went really well!
Shalini made me feel very comfortable. She knows how to balance making conversation and the actual learning content. I learnt more than I expected to learn in a trial class. She was very keen to note my areas of weakness. She understands business and marketing so I was able to learn more than just “business English”, she asked about my business and offered some business advice ! I’m definitely booking her again!
