Wanted to let everyone know that I won't be able to attend and will be reducing my role here on Connect. Having become healthy enough to return to work full-time for the first time seven years -- all thanks to Mayo Clinic -- I now lack the bandwidth to be able to juggle so many activities. I love my new job as the first technical writer ever hired in the history of HP Hood LLC's 140+ year history, and I am now also Assistant Team Leader / Co-Advisor of my daughter's robotics team (Greater Rochester Robotics FIRST Robotics Competition Team 340), which is an activity true to my heart that helps hundreds of kids each year. Please keep me posted about your ongoings and activities, and reach out to me every once in while. Love to you all... Kelly

@kdubois Good luck in your new job. Is that HP Hood, the dairy company? I thought that was just east coast.
Being a technical writer sounds great, is that what you have done before? My daughter is a writer in business, but not a technical writer. Her title is "content strategist", whatever that means! She used to free-lance but now works for TD Ameritrade.
I hope your daughter's robotics team does great too. For some reason my son and daughter never got involved in that, but I think my daughter would have done well in it, she just did not have a lot of confidence in HS. She actually started college as a physics major so she does have a math/science mind.

Congratulations on your new job, Kelly. How wonderful that your health has improved so that working is possible again. You will be missed on Connect. Do check in with us and let us know how you are doing
Sounds like a really neat job, Kelly @kdubois. I'm so glad for you. And, it also sounds like you've gotten yourself a great volunteer role.
You will really be missed here.

Such great news for you, @kdubois. Sad for us in the mentor group, but we're delighted that the reason you cannot dedicate time to the Connect community is because of improved health. That is a huge win for all, especially you and your family. I hope your employer knows what a truly passionate, articulate and dedicated person they have hired. We will certainly keep you updated to the big milestones on Mayo Clinic Connect. In fact, here's one:
WE REACHED 70,000 MEMBERS TODAY. That was our target for the end of 2018. We're 2 months ahead of ourselves and growing.
