Just another Feek (Feminine + Geek) trying to navigate the digital world
Back in March at SxSW Interactive, Jeff Pulver suggested I reach out to a local Nashville guy, Andy Dixon. Jeff went on to tell me a brief summary of Andy's background and that he had spoken at Jeff's #140 Conf in NYC. I contacted Andy when I returned to Nashville and asked him to meet me for breakfast and offered to see what the community could do to help his non-profit, which at that time, didn't have a brand identity and was unknown. Long story short, my friend Ian Rhett and I talked to Andy for 4 hours...

Social Media Releases Chemical Feel Goods Sometimes referred to as the “cuddle” chemical, oxytocin — a hormone produced in the brain — stimulates feelings of trust and security, reduces anxiety levels and may even produce positive sexual side effects. It sounds like a miracle drug, so how does one get their hands on it? Perhaps, simply by tweeting. Fast Company contributing writer Adam Penenberg volunteered to be a test subject in Dr. Paul J. Zak’s “neuroeconomics” research efforts to “gauge the relationship...

There’s a small feature on the way that’s about to make another big change to the way people use Facebook: the ability to “Like” comments. Much like you can currently “Like” status updates, wall posts and other items in the News Feed, Facebook has started rolling out a “Like” button for comments. The feature is not yet live for everyone. The functionality is much the same as traditional “Likes.” In a blog post, Facebook writes that, “when you click ‘Like’ on a comment the commenter will receive a notification...

West Coast born and bred, East Coast educated and just returned to Chicago after more than two years in Nashville, TN.
I work professionally for Social Media Club global, as a Community Liaison and recently started as a part-time Buick Brand Ambassador for their Tweet To Drive campaign in Chicago.
I served my Nashville community as the Co-Founder and Program Director of Social Media Club Nashville. I actively volunteered for PodCamp Nashville, BarCamp Nashville, both more than 550 person events dedicated to growing the Nashville Tech community. I recently participated in FirstCamp Nashville, an introductory un-conference for High School students interested in pursing a career in technology. I also served as a Big Sister with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Middle Tennessee for more than a year until moving to Chicago.
Most may know me as being Old Spice's object of affection, along with every woman on the face of the Earth and some on Mars. *Swoon*
In my free time, you will find me in New York City or Boston visiting my closest friends and soaking up the culture. I am a 9-5'er because it's socially acceptable and a night owl by choice which means, I hardly sleep. I love to eat and cook exotic foods, the hotter, the better! I also own a red Doberman named Scooby, who I take everywhere with me. I dare you to spot me in town without him!
I blog for SocialFresh.com, a series of conferences and blogs dedicated to C-Level Marketing Executives on the hard ROI of social media.
