Her sweet Southern charm and whole-hearted kindness are positive influences on an office otherwise full of city folk. As one of our resident social media gurus, Tilly has helped to establish and leverage the visibility of HME issues in emerging online media in addition to traditional communications channels.

Before joining the team, Tilly worked at Docs for Tots, a Washington-based advocacy network for physicians that champions the healthcare and social needs of children. She served as communications director there, leading media outreach and message framing efforts for the organization as well as work on print and electronic publications.

Tilly received her bachelor’s degree in Communications and History from Ouachita Baptist University in Arkansas, and her Master’s degree in Mass Communications from the Grady School of Journalism at the University of Georgia. (Go Bulldogs!)

Fun Facts
  • Tilly has traveled across the world, literally, skiing the alps (she lived in Europe for 7 years), swimming in Dubai, and trekking past the Egyptian pyramids on camel-back.

  • Tilly was taught how to field a baseball by Tommy Lasorda, her first job was scoring baseball games and she married an MLB Sirius XM executive producer – she and baseball cannot escape each other.

  • Tilly was elected class president from the seventh grade to her junior year of high school, and student government president her senior year; her record is so squeaky clean that if/when the position is created, she can become the President of the Universe (Trust us, we've Googled her).
