She worked at Robinson’s and La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre.
Fast forward 20 years… and her career was not quite as fun and exciting as it was 20 years earlier. The stress was wearing her down and definitely making that smile less and less apparent. She yearned for something new. Something that would bring back the sparkle.
She was one of the first 37 to graduate in the world’s first social media certification program. She was doing everything she loved: making connections with people around the world, getting to have FUN every day at work, being able to use her creative talents to make a difference in people’s lives. It was the perfect position.
And all of a sudden – that “geek” label that she had been called all those years ago became a badge of pride.

Notes:
Forbes: Social Intelligence. ”Many innovative companies are taking social data to the next level, “listening” to the billions of conversations on social media, to bubble up actionable insights for companies to make better decisions around their brand, marketing, product, etc. I would be very worried how budgets will shift in this direction, if I was a traditional market research firm.” http://www.forbes.com/sites/georgedeeb/2015/01/16/the-top-20-digital-trends-of-2015/
