Professional Experience

April Ort has been writing herself out of sticky situations since before Crayola invented washable crayons. (She once signed her illiterate sister’s name to a lovely mural in their bedroom closet.) Now, she uses her conversational tone and Sherlock worthy researching skills to produce articles and white papers on topics ranging from business and entrepreneurship to organic gardening and forensic anthropology. Ort has a background in corporate training and is currently working on her first industry book focusing on intergenerational groups in the workforce. When she’s not training or writing, Ort enjoys finding new ways to blame her younger sister for her own bad deeds.
