I lead biz dev & sales at UNION METRICS. We do impact and engagement analytics for Twitter (TweetReach) and Tumblr.

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.
