What a fantastic Women In Tech event! Thank you to the entire Kaseya TruMethods Peer team! And fantastic conversation with Annette Slavik and Jennifer Gilligan!

For the first time in, I think a decade, I wasn't at the Gartner Supply Chain Conference this week. But I was in Orlando! And I was hosting a Women in Tech luncheon! So some things never change! So proud and excited for what's ahead in '26 with Knox Technology!! 👏 Events like these leave you energized, refocused, and scared. And that's how it should be! If it was easy, everyone would do it. LFG! (....not written by AI, written by AK.... 🤣 )

Can't wait to host the 2nd #WomenInTech luncheon at Kaseya TruPeer Conference next week! It's centered around a topic that impacts us all: growth. Growth in our careers, growth as leaders, and growth through the challenges and opportunities that come with working in tech. 

What a day! So proud to represent Knox Technology on the golf course for a wonderful cause! 🏌️‍♀️⛳️ 🏆And the new hardware was an added bonus!

I’ve gone back and forth about sharing this, but if it helps even one parent, it’s worth it. And I wrote it, not AI. There I said it. We switched insurance in March to Florida Blue. During all my research, I was told my son Truett’s growth hormone medication (Sandoz's #Omnitrope) would be “covered.” What I didn’t understand at the time is that “covered” meant we would first have to pay a $9,900 medication deductible, and then it would be covered. Almost ten thousand dollars. To give my son the medication he needs to grow. Literally grow. By way of background, three years ago, Truett stopped growing. Completely fell off the growth chart. My pediatritian is amazing, referred us to an awesome pediatric endrocronoligist. After a four-hour growth hormone test at the hospital, we learned his pituitary gland simply isn’t producing growth hormones. Not “a little low.” His brain just doesn’t make it. So, he was put on Omnitrope and he is THRIVING. Growing like a weed. And up until this March, our previous insurance covered the medication 100%. Then everything changed. New insurance. So I started the process. Six weeks of calling our doctor’s office, talking to our insurance, talking to Florida Blue’s Advocate+ program, talking to multiple speciality pharmacies. I researched GoodRx and even looking at paying fully out of pocket. With the manufacturer copay assistance (which is wonderful), we were still looking at $2,187 a month until we hit that $9,900 deductible. No other options. I hit a point where I just accepted it. I told myself this is the cost of helping your son grow. And I would pay it in a heartbeat. I know I’m fortunate to even be able to say that. That isn't lost on me. But it just didn’t feel right. There has to be a better way. Then I got lucky.... An absolute angel named Helena in the PerformSpecialty Pharmacy Claims Department mentioned something no one else had. Not my insurance Florida Blue, not my doctor, not the Advocate+ team, not even ChatGPT. She said, “Have you looked into FlexAccess?” One phone call to FlexAccess. $0 copay. Medication shipped. FlexAccess is new to Florida Blue and somehow no one in the system mentioned, it except this wonderful woman Helena. Someone who clearly cares enough to stay on top of things and actually advocate for the families she talks to. I’m sharing this because I know how hopeless I felt. I also know great marketing. Do better marketing Florida Blue and FlexAccess. I'd love to offer to help as a customer reference, ICP research, whatever! As a marketer, as a mom, I'm here. You need more than one blog post! (below) If you’re in that place, ask about FlexAccess. And to Helena, thank you. You changed everything for us with your compassion and insights. https://lnkd.in/daDPKAtE

SO excited to share! We're growing! Come join the fun! It's a wild, nerdy ride over here at Knox Technology! 🧑‍💻 #FortMyersIT #SWFLIThiring

There’s something incredibly refreshing about talking to the next generation of marketers. AND I'M HERE FOR IT!!! I recently had a conversation with Kaitlyn Baxley, who’s graduating in May, and I walked away genuinely impressed. She’s built real experience through multiple marketing internships and has worked across marketing analytics, data, communications, brand, and social media. She’s looking for a full-time marketing role after graduation. So if you or your team are hiring entry-level marketing talent , especially someone who understands both the numbers and the narrative, I’d encourage you to connect with her! Best of luck to all graduating seniors.... what an exciting time to drive impact for a business!
