Meet Team Co-Co
Betty Galvan, Owner, Warren, NJ
Reach out to me when…you need anything!
Betty is a former middle school teacher turned blogger who experienced influencer digital marketing from its inception. Looking for an opportunity to work from home, Betty launched My Friend Betty Digital Marketing Studio in 2018, giving her the opportunity to raise her three sons while making her mark in a new industry. Betty’s clients have taught her much about what business owners need and crave to increase their mark in this world. She has spoken to hundreds of entrepreneurs, business professionals, and service providers, and sees a common thread across industries and expertise: they want to help improve other people’s lives.
Acquiring The Co-Co in January 2024 was a natural next step for Betty’s own entrepreneurship. She is honored to have the opportunity to carry on the future of The Co-Co and leverage the lessons learned to grow The Co-Co community and help each of its members grow and succeed. She graduated from Loyola University Chicago with a major in English and a minor in Secondary Education. Originally from Chicago, Betty is a proud first-generation Mexican-American.
