I lead business development at Union Metrics for our flagship product TweetReach. Born and raised in Atlanta, I completed my Master's in Digital Media at Georgia Tech and moved to San Francisco in April 2010 to consult on new media strategy for top companies and consumer brands.

I am passionate about technology and new media and voraciously consume all the best blogs and books on both.
