Heather Dugan is a writer/advice columnist/author and voiceover/video talent who most frequently covers business, relationship, fitness and travel topics. A dedicated traveler and life-balance advocate, Heather is also a savvy speaker and spokesperson, a skilled communicator who can educate and inspire with a twist of humor.
You may have heard Heather in radio/TV ads, eLearning and corporate videos or as an annoying phone voice informing you that you’ve misdialed. Her recent book, “Pickup in Aisle Twelve,” is a witty romp through the absurdities of mid-life dating. Links to other articles, books, voiceovers and videos can be found at www.heatherdugan.com.
Heather enjoys connecting with readers via social media and by email at her website. She resides in Central Ohio with her children and a wayward chocolate lab, is slightly addicted to outdoor activities and would never let her passport expire. In between deodorizing shin guards, power grocery shopping and explaining proper application of lawn care products in corporate videos, her passion for travel and the great outdoors takes her off the map (oops!) and all over the world. She considers humor to be her best accessory.
