Hello from Virginia!

Hi everyone! I’m excited to be here and meet fellow Sprout Community members. My name is Angela, I am the Social Media Manager for a digital marketing agency. I manage the social media presence for a number of clients in a variety of industries and truly enjoy it. While I have only been at my current company for about 6 months I have been working in this space for almost 13 years and it has never gotten boring. Looking forward to meeting others in the space and maybe even starting some local in-person coffee chats in the future!

Hi new friends!

👋👋👋My name’s Abigail (Abbey, for short) and I’ve been working in social media for around 5 years (transitioned from early-ed). My current role is as social media manager for a small not-for-profit media org. Officially I’m based overseas, but since the job went remote, I’ve been working from the US (Washington, DC). If you live in the DMV area and feel like having coffee talk IRL, be in touch! I’d love to trade war stories and hear what you’ve found helpful in your industry!

Hello from Chicago! 👋

Hi everyone! My name is Joy Fernandez (she/her), and I am a Customer Success Manager for the Onboarding team here at Sprout Social. My role is to help new Sprout customers learn how to optimize and leverage the platform. My favorite feature to talk about in onboarding is Sprout tags and learning about the creative ways customers are using tags. One of the things I’m excited to learn from you all is how you’re using tags and how this data has impacted your social strategy.In my spare time, I enjoy traveling (in and out of Chicago, my hometown), trying and making new food ideas inspired from TikTok and Youtube, talking all things higher ed, working on home improvement projects, and taking care of my many plants and cat, Zelda.I look forward to chatting more with you all!
