Im a doctoral student at the University of Pennsylvanias Annenberg School for Communication, working in the area of health communication. Im specifically interested in the development and deployment of messages promoting healthy exercise behaviors. How can we motivate people to become more physically active What role does our media use, particularly social media, play in this process How can we leverage technology and social networks to get (and keep) people moving Immediately prior to embarking on my current graduate studies, I worked as a copywriter, editor, and technical writer, with some journalistic projects sprinkled on top. And prior to that, I enjoyed stints in product management in the online payments industry, and event and talent promotion as well as account management in the entertainment industry. In bite-sized pieces Research whiz. Data junkie. Writer extraordinaire. Detail obsessed. Problem solver. Team player. Creative dreamer.
