I am working for Guy Kawasaki as a social media assistant. Guy is a best selling author, former chief evangelist at Apple, and public speaker. In my role, I am handling his social media accounts with more than 300,000 followers, doing research and marketing for his upcoming book release, and various administrative tasks that change daily.

 

This may seem like an odd path for me, but my hope is to someday apply my climate science background to create public outreach campaigns about climate change to inhibit global warming. In order to do this, I needed experience creating engaging social media and marketing campaigns. I am already learning tons that I think can be applied in this way.
