In 2008, I started to blog. After that, I got hooked!

I am also chief curator at HJMT Media Company LLC, where I write two blogs — HilaryTopper.com and A Triathlete’s Diary blog. I’m also a podcaster at https://www.hilarytopper.com/podcast/

I’ve had my podcast, Hilary Topper on Air since 2011.

A Triathlete’s Diary Blog

I started running at age 48 and did my first triathlon in 2014. My blog, https://www.ATriathletesDiary.com, talks about products for triathlons but also it shares my triathlon journey with you to hopefully inspire you.

An Author

I am the author of two books – Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Social Media but were afraid to ask… Building Your Business Using Consumer Generated Media and Branding in a Digital World, which is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, iUniverse, and on our website.

Currently, I am working on a new book about my triathlon journey and it will be published in the spring of 2022 with Meyer and Meyer Sports Publishing.

Adjunct Professor

One of my passions is to teach and mentor others. For the last eight years, I have been an adjunct professor at Hofstra University in their Master’s and Undergraduate programs teaching digital communications, persuasive public speaking, and PR campaigns, among other things.
