Hey there! Marcus from Indiana.
After 20 years in education, I transitioned to EdTech and thrived as Senior Manager of Global Advocacy and Engagement at Instructure.
I was part of a large layoff at Instructure to kick-off the new year and I’m in search of my next chance to thrive.
I Love Customer Advocacy, building community, leverage social media and engagement strategies. I’m a published author and experienced podcaster.
In the meantime, I’m here to learn from you all and contribute in any way that I can!
