Tilly McLain’s Summary
Solid, multi-faceted background in Customer Care. I am able to juggle community support both online and off, and across multiple mediums
Management experience in the fast-paced computer technology field. As fun as the gig is, I understand that this is a business
Community management background which has helped me gain the skills hold users hands and make web communities feel less intimidating, and welcome everyone to join the party!
Active blogger and member of many online communities. Some people call it “social media expert”, but I prefer to call myself a “social media butterfly”
Advocate of a light-hearted tone of user support in a new, more casual direction. I communicate with users the same way I would speak to my friends or mom. Less corporate speak, more heart
I am a little ray of sunshine! Its hard not to smile when I’m around, and this translates perfectly via online interactions
