Veronica Francis: Speaker - Storyteller - Digital Communications Pro

From Route 3 to the Big Top to the Digital Age

Turning Real-Life Adventures into Inspiration, Laughter & Learning.

 Ron in Hat

Welcome! I'm a storyteller, speaker, author, and communications pro who grew up in one of the most delightfully unusual childhoods that includes a roadside motel on Route 3, a backyard circus, and a steady stream of tourists, characters, and wildlife wandering through our driveway in Twin Mountain, New Hampshire.

Today, I blend those real-life adventures with decades of experience in digital communications, community leadership, and AI training to help people laugh, learn, and feel more connected in a fast-changing world.

Whether I'm teaching AI tools, guiding a business through a digital strategy, or sharing my humorous Route 3 Ronnie adventures, my mission is simple:
to help people feel hopeful and confident in a digital world, blending old-fashioned storytelling with new-era tools.

Deep North Country Roots. Real Communication Experience.

public speaker

I've spent over 25 years helping New Hampshire organizations share their stories, strengthen their communities, and communicate with heart. I currently serve as Communications Director for:

  • The NH-VT Christmas Tree Association
  • The Old Man of the Mountain Legacy Fund
  • Patria Productions

These roles - along with my writing, storytelling, and community projects - keep me grounded in the people, culture, and history that make the North Country of New Hampshire so special.

A Life Filled with Gladness, Curiosity & Character

My work is inspired by the spirit of Pollyanna, the legacy of my hometown, Littleton, NH and the colorful cast of characters from my Route 3 and Circus Towne years. Whether we're talking moose, tourists, clowns, technology, storytelling, or staying optimistic in a wild world - I bring energy, humor, and a big heart to every room.
