I think by now it should go without saying that I am a big fan of all things social media. Aside from the fact that the general field of social media is at the core of what I do professionally (I’m the director of social media and communications at Quinte Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine and read more

Poor, neglected blog
August 3, 2012 – 11:38 am
I’m fairly certain that Jasper is channeling my blog in this photo. Sad, bored, somewhat indifferent. Sigh. To be fair, it’s not like I’ve completely neglected this place. I’ve actually been posting fairly regularly, even adding video content into the mix. But there are times, like this week for example, where the desire to write read more
PodCamp Toronto Part 2: The Meet-ups
March 2, 2012 – 11:09 am
My favourite part about social media? The social part. I love the way engaging on social media platforms allows us to create real and valuable connections with people that we probably never would have discovered without them. I’ve had so many of those connections evolve into real life friendships along the way too. And what’s read more
PodCamp Toronto Part 1: The Sessions
February 28, 2012 – 4:07 pm
I want a shirt that says “I survived PodCamp Toronto 2012”. Not that PodCamp was dangerous or tedious or anything that would normally denote a situation that would need to be survived. I just feel like I’m finally part of the club now, y’know? This past weekend was a big one full of learning, meeting read more
One week to PodCamp Toronto 2012!
February 17, 2012 – 12:08 pm
In a week from today I’ll be heading down to Toronto to participate in my first ever PodCamp Toronto un-conference and I think – I think – I’m pretty much ready to go! I first heard about PodCamp back in 2008/2009 when I was a student in Loyalist PR. Every year since then I’ve desperately read more
HealthAchieve and the Fantastic Mr. Fox (or, On finding passion when you least expect it)
November 11, 2011 – 12:41 am
Earlier this week I got to attend the 2011 OHA HealthAchieve conference in Toronto. I went because of my job and mainly for the purposes of sharing the work we’ve been doing with social media. Being the PR nerd that I am, I got right into all of the prep before hand – building conference read more
I can’t remember your phone number and it may or may not be a problem
September 23, 2011 – 10:12 am
My boyfriend sent me a message on Facebook today to let me know that he had forgotten his cell phone at my apartment (to which my very intelligent response was “Jasper’s probably making prank calls to Africa by now!” I’m so funny…) Unlike myself, who sadly experiences an embarrassing amount of separation anxiety whenever I read more
The War Child Challenge rises again! (Sort of!)
June 30, 2011 – 9:23 am
[Edit: Soooo, this isn't actually happening anymore. Read about why here!] Man, I was doing SO well with my blogging last week. Then this week happened and I found myself buried in work and trying to keep up with the short week so all of my BRILLIANT ideas had to take a backseat. I apologize read more
Coming up for air (BRB lost in ideas)
June 23, 2011 – 12:31 pm
No time for a big post today I’m afraid. I spent yesterday evening at MaRS in Toronto (an amazing place. I’m endlessly impressed with what is happening there) attending a seminar from their Global Leadership series called “Social Networking and Health Care“. Have I mentioned yet that I’m working in the health care field now? read more
Back to School (Sort of)
January 11, 2011 – 11:44 am
If you follow me on Twitter or happen to be my friend on Facebook (or hey, maybe even in real life!) then you have no doubt already been made privy to my latest adventure: I, Sara Hamil, am now a college professor. No, seriously. Last fall, I was officially invited to join the teaching faculty read more
