SENSEI masterful health communications

Katie Cline
Vice President

What is your role at SENSEI?
I'm Vice President and supervisor for the aspirin team. I also manage the team that works with an organization of cardiovascular nurses to raise awareness of heart-healthy behavior. I requested to be on that account because it's small and they are passionate about things. I wanted something refreshing.

When did you start at SENSEI?
April 2003.

What are your skills and background?
In college, I was a journalism student. When I graduated, I got a job at a small consumer and healthcare agency -- I worked in the healthcare division supporting a number of accounts. I played a key role in media relations, helped coordinate grassroots programming, and loved participating in new business pitches. I also managed the production of a public health career guide. I spent two years there.

What is your unique contribution to SENSEI?
A big part of what I bring to the table is that while I get things done, I'm very calm about getting things done. A lot of what we do is very urgent and can get people frazzled. I tend to really focus on not stressing about getting it done, but actually getting it done.

Where are you from?
A small, wonderful town called Latrobe, outside of Pittsburgh, where Rolling Rock beer is made, where Arnie Palmer is from and where the first banana split was made.

Do you have a personal motto?
Everything happens for a reason.

What do you do to have fun?
Go dancing. I love dancing. I go to the beach a lot. I surf, I love surfing. I like being outside. Normal stuff.

What three things could you not live without?
My mom, the beach, a book.
