Amanda G. Knapper, Social Media Specialist

While working with Dale Hildebrand on the site for Road to the Lemon Grove, I had the pleasure of meeting and working with his wife Jil, which has led to my latest project, a website for her company, Intelligent Heart Collective. I'm happy to say that I'll be continuing to work with this amazing power couple as the technical and social media support for the #IHC.

Some of you may know that our dear Nana, Jean Winnifred Gardiner McPhail, passed last October. We were very lucky that we had as much time with her as we did, and that her passing was as peaceful as it was. And that's due in part to the caring staff at McNally House Hospice. We were surprised to find that the first anniversary of her death coincides with this year's McNally House Hike for Hospice. Taking this as a sign, we will be walking in the hike for hospice and hope that you will support us.
