Over the past three years, I've been volunteering with two local organizations, serving on their social media crews.
2015 was the first time the Expo had a social media crew. I was lucky enough to be the first one assigned to the crew. This was the first time getting my feet wet in the world of tweets, retweets, likes, and shares. It was this experience that piqued my interest in digital marketing.

In 2015 I was asked to co-lead the social media crew, and have accepted the position for 2017 as well.
