Social Media Speaker 2011 Interviews
As the opening speaker for the inaugural AtMidwest conference, I was asked to submit an interview. Here’s a clip.
I am a central Illinois girl at heart. I grew up in Danville, took my first travel photos [at age 10] at Lincoln’s home in Springfield, hosted a high school radio show on WDAN, played clarinet with the Marching Illini, married a guy from Mt. Olive [that I first heard on WPGU], and named my company after two prolific storytellers who lived on a street called Chicago. It’s amazing to me that people all over the world can, and do, want to follow and connect with each other on this thing we call the Internet!
Here’s a picture of the 2011 keynote speakers with the @Midwest team.
