👋 Welcome New Members!

Thank you @JonathanZuluaga!  My name is Ann and I own Ann Gray Consulting LLC.   What summer?  I think I blinked and missed it because we have been so busy!  I am excited to be here so I can learn more.  Always learning and evolving!
All the best,
Ann

Thanks @JonathanZuluaga for the warm welcome. My name is Jacqui and I am the Marketing Manager for Heat Holders® -- the world’s warmest sock. We’ve spent the summer preparing for winter and now we’re going a little nuts as we get to the final prep stages!

So great to be here! 

It truly did fly very fast! Here in Chicago it speeds through so I’m hoping to take in the last few weeks.

That sounds so wonderful! Are you big seasons fall and winter then?

Hi @JonathanZuluaga! Thanks so much for the intro here. My name is Alyssa and I am living my dream job as a social media manager for Widefoc.us, a social media agency! I live in the Black Hills & Badlands of South Dakota, and right now, I’m enjoying the wind-down of the summer by watching all the bikes in town for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. I’m thrilled to join the Sprout community and learn from my fellow social media managers and digital marketers! 😊

@alyssa.e So glad you’re here! I def just googled the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, it looks so cool, I’ve never seen anything like it!

Hi Everyone, I’m Laura from Sprout based out of Seattle. I work along along side @JonathanZuluaga here in the Community!

Would love to chat with all of you at the Speed Networking event on Wednesday, hope to meet you there!

Hi @LauraPorcincula! Hi @JonathanZuluaga and everyone else. My name is Brittany Johnson. I’m the new-ish (it’s been about 5 months) director of communications for CACHE, the arts agency servicing Northwest Arkansas. Summer has been a blur and fall will be as well due to personal and work travel and a few major work-related projects. Excited to join this group. 

Hi everyone! My name is Shawn and I am the Digital Engagement Specialist at Early Learning Indiana. We work to ensure all Indiana families have the resources they need to empower their children with essential skills to be successful in kindergarten and beyond. We also work with state agencies and providers to create access to high-quality early learning opportunities for all Hoosier children. 

My wife and I are expecting our first child in the next couple of weeks so all of our time has gone towards prepping to raise little one!

Hi @LauraPorcincula & @JonathanZuluaga! I’m Leah, based here in Louisville, KY. I’m the CMO of Onyx + Rose, a CBD skincare and wellness brand. Prior to this I was the head of brand at TwinSpires where I worked in the world of gambling for horse racing (ever heard of the Kentucky Derby?), sports betting, and online casino. Prior to that I was the head of social media at Papa Johns HQ for 6 years. Very excited to be onboard with Sprout as our team is getting ready for our new fall releases and holiday planning!

Congrats! What an exciting time for you!

Welcome Leah! What a unique and varied background. I can only image the learnings from you’ve been able to apply to your CMO role. Glad you’re here!

@emily.jansen congrats! First of all, what an interesting space to work in especially in social. Do you find it tough to create content for water and wastewater?
