More about Jonah:
Growing up, I always wanted to be a reporter. I wanted to dig for the facts, write about them, and change people's lives. Only trouble was it didn't work that way. Connecting with people through my stories was more difficult than I thought. The problem: one way communication. I wanted to build a connection with my audience that just wasn't happening. I wanted interaction.
In 1998 I left a job I'd held for several years as a contributing editor and photographer at Style Weekly for a job in customer service. Suddenly, connections were not only easy but the lifeline of my job, and interactive. It was something I found that I loved about work, and years later, those skill continue to serve me.
Fast forward to the 21st century. My writing and photography background, combined with my desire for genuine connections with people, positioned me in a great place to discover and fall in love with social media.
