About: A savvy marketing chick and professional writer for over 15 years, Kelly Ripley Feller is a social media addict and outspoken proponent of change and marketing evolution.

Today she manages social media programs for Intel and writes about social media, marketing, business, Second Life, and politics--including a column on social media and politics for a literary magazine.

An enthusiastic live music lover and classical singer, Kelly performs at local schools and senior homes and is a hospice volunteer for veterans. She has been active in Second Life for over a year and a half—the equivalent of several lifetimes in that virtual realm.

She lives outside of Portland, OR with her husband and son, and holds a BA in Communications and Political Science from the University of Michigan.
