How do you support our mission statement?

I support our mission by using our digital marketing channels to educate, inform and connect our community.

How do you know your work at HIMSS makes a difference?

I manage our social media platforms, and the feedback we get from our community is instantaneous. I can see the work our community members are doing to make healthcare better and I receive feedback on everything we do at HIMSS. This makes me feel connected to our audience and also gives me an opportunity to pass this information to our leadership to help us get better!

I wish people understood how sophisticated and powerful social media strategies can be and how much work and thought goes into creating a seemingly simple tweet.
