As a dean’s list honor student in the College of Liberal Arts at the University of Texas in Austin, Rhea Thomas has always had a passion for the written (and typed) word. She started writing as a child (stories about her Barbies and long, rhyming poems) and displayed excellent managerial and entrepreneurial talents when she started a girls’ club (The Boys Busters) at 10 years old. Diverting off the yellow brick road, Rhea experienced a temporary foray into the world of finance where she continued writing in her free time and had a short story published in Quality Fiction Magazine. Rhea entered the Blogosphere three years ago with her own personal blog, which ended up receiving Google’s Blogs of Note recognition in December 2009. Working as a blogger for UpTake.com, the largest independent travel research site after only two years in business, she began SEO training and learned more about the impact of social media. Still sidelined in finance, she ended up spearheading the social media campaigns for several companies in that industry before finding her way to Splash Media, where she can finally use her writing background combined with her passion for social media.
