Talia Haykin

At Jacksonville University, Talia earned her bachelor's degree in Theatre and Dance Performance magna cum laude. After college she left a successful corporate career to serve as the Public Relations Director for Ballet Nouveau Colorado. After leaving BNC, she went on to wear many hats at Patheos. She directed the Jewish Portal, managed the online community, and assisted with public relations strategy.

Talia has developed an expertise in social media, incorporating social networking and inbound marketing, into her publicity and community-building plans. Her skills at ferreting out new networking tools, and her mastery of the geography of the World Wide Web, have been extremely beneficial to her clients, especially when introducing them to these mysterious and magical creatures called "blogs" and "Facebook status updates."

Talia completed her Master's Degree in Applied Communication with a focus on PR and Marketing in 2010 from the University of Denver where she published a thesis entitled Evaluating Social Media and Inbound Marketing Success for Content Delivery Companies.

In 2011, Talia completed a stint studying Judaism, Tanach, Rashi, and other Jewish subjects at Mayanot, Chabad women's seminary in Jerusalem. As the daughter, niece, granddaughter, and great-granddaughter of rabbis, Talia has been immersed in Jewish culture and communities throughout her life.

Presently, Talia is the Director of Marketing and Communications for the Robert E. Loup Jewish Community Center and works with a number of businesses to assist with their social media strategy. Talia is a member of the ROI Community and she lives in Denver, Colorado with her husband Dan and their puppy Soba Schnoodle.
