Meet the Community Engagement Specialist Team

 

This week's blog is dedicated to introducing you to the people who are running the behind-the-scenes action here in the community. By now I'm sure you've seen us out and about in the community forum boards, chiming in on threads and keeping the community a productive, safe space for members to convene.

I thought it would be a good idea to start off 2016 by giving a "behind the scenes" look at the Community Engagement team members who are keeping the community "always open."

I've (Rebecca) had the opportunity to personally speak with many of you in the community, but what you may not know is that for 12 years I practiced as a criminal defense attorney. Going from law to community management was a big leap. It was partly inspired by becoming a part of the dog owner community in Philadelphia where I learned about the value of connectivity and benefit of a close-knit community. When I'm not obsessing about online communities, I'm hanging out with my two dogs, Imogene and Dash, and volunteering my time with various pet rescue groups. If you haven't already reached out to connect, please do so and tell me a little bit about yourself!

Marjorie started with PMI in 2008, making this her 8^th year with the organization (has it really been that long already?). She is a proud ISTJ and thinks she’s really got a handle on the introvert piece of that personality type. She enjoys a good bottle of wine and she has been told that she’s pretty good at impressions; however, she shouldn’t quit her day job!  She believes in the saying “early to bed, early to rise” and can usually be found in the office way earlier than anyone should be allowed. One day, Marjorie hopes to finally find the answer to the age-old question: who let the dogs out? Be sure to connect with her here on ProjectManagement.com so you can be the first one to know when she finds out!

Kristin is extremely passionate about people, learning, family and fun. Although she is from the Philadelphia area, she considers herself a citizen of the world. She has been lucky enough to travel to 16 countries outside of her home country, the United States, and spent extended time in Jena, Germany completing her college degree. She speaks English and German and enjoys learning about languages and cultures at every opportunity.

Kristin is the proud mother of two children, a 2 ½ year old boy and a 4 month old girl. Her children have given her an energy and drive to live life in the present for which she is incredibly grateful.

Kristin lives by three mottos:

1. “Live life to the fullest”
2. “Everything happens for a reason”
3. “Life is too short to buy cheap olive oil”

Be sure to connect with her here and share your words to live by!

Carrie is the newest member of the engagement team, joining PMI in October of 2015. Prior to joining PMI, Carrie served as a Content Lead with Drug Information Association (DIA). In that role she was responsible for developing content strategy, as well as development and design of educational programs. This included providing input to the content strategy process regarding performance of content activity and collaborating with content teams to identify/discuss content opportunities and delivery methods.

Carrie is a relatively new mom to a furry baby, Bella, who she adores. She loves reading and prefers a paper book to the electronic version. She hopes to someday have a library in her house. She’s a huge fan of Billy Joel and has lost count of how many times she’s seen his shows. She’s also a big fan of ice hockey (Philadelphia Flyers)! She’s a big believer in the saying that “Life is a Journey, Not a Destination.” Be sure to check out her profile and connect with Carrie today.
