Introduction - Will Veliz

Hey everyone! Wanted to introduce myself to the Community quick. My name is Will Veliz and I am a Customer Success Manager working with mid-market clients at Sprout Social. Specifically, I work with healthcare, fitness, biotech, nonprofit and government clients I live in Chicago, IL which is currently enjoying a beautiful but VERY hot summer. All the more reason to spend time on the lake shore I suppose! Besides social media strategy, I love soccer having played it my whole life and am very grateful for the soccer community that can be found here in the windy city. I also just started training for the Chicago Marathon which has been a bit challenging so far given the recent heat wave.  I’m very excited to see what all the members of this community can learn and teach in this space and am looking forward to sharing my own insights as well as learning a bit myself!

Intro: Tai Freligh (Noodle Education)

Hey there!  I’m Tai and I am in sunny Huntington Beach, California (although it’s raining today).  I do social media for a company that works with universities around the country to develop their online programs.  We also help students and lifelong learners find programs that match their needs.  I’m new to the education industry, but not to social media.  It’s quite the learning experience for me, but I am really enjoying it and learning a lot.  The webinars and classes here on Sprout are fantastic and I love using the calendar and scheduling feature.  It’s a lifesaver!
