- Biography: Since 2004, I've worked at Austin-based National Instruments, a technology pioneer and one of FORTUNE magazine's top 100 best companies to work for in America. As the community & social media manager, I maintain and promote an award-winning global community for 125,000 engineers working on applications ranging from LEGO software to hardware for the CERN supercollider. I also provide social media marketing strategy for product launches and other word-of-mouth campaigns that involve lead evangelists, brand blogs, viral videos, and social networks. Additionally, I connect developers offline at user conferences, Tweetups and other events. As a social media evangelist, I have been a featured speaker at major events like SXSW, the Marketing Leadership Council, InnoTech and the Austin Social Media Club. Prior to this role, I specialized in media relations, crisis communications and public affairs for companies like National Instruments, Allstate, British Gas, Hewlett-Packard and the Houston Marathon. In 2002, I was the Hill & Knowlton NetComs Associate of the Year. I graduated with a bachelor of science in public relations and minors in business and English from The University of Texas at Austin.
