About Thia Bonadies

Having hosted a deep love for both language and people, my career has been one that\'s winded down a path mainly in communications. With jobs in writing, reporting, consulting, and project management, I believe that in our current technological focused world, being a \'people person\'​ is becoming a lost art and organizations should seek those who have it and covet them. I never want to stop being interested in connecting with people and how we can work together to create and build beautiful products, companies and employee experiences. Happiest when I\'m at a ball game or on my bicycle. Sometimes I don\'t like capitalizing the first letter in sentences. Or proper nouns. But, I still do it. except when i don\'t.
