Maybe as the middle child out of five kids I was destined to be involved with social media as a professional. Persuasion, attentive listening and humor were (survival) skills honed at an early age. I've been able to parlay those skills and 10+ years marketing experience into something I love doing: using social methods to drive business.

My career has been defined by the healthcare industry, and I'm ecstatic to be at the leading edge of its transformation - what better provacateur of and witness to change than social media? As many have said, the future of business is person-to-person, and I'm leveraging social connections to further my company's interests in health care policy, innovation and care delivery.

I look forward to growing my career in this still green-field and hope to become expert in podcasting, hosting codeathons, and Hangouts in the next year. If you're a pro in any of those things, let's connect!
