I've been working in social media for almost three years now, and while I'm not totally sure where my skills and career are going to take me, I do like what I'm doing right now. I'm eager to learn more, and I feel like I know myself and my skills pretty well. I fell into … Continue reading Where do I begin?

Charmed Life: The Early Days (#TBT)
For those of you who have read (or at least seen) some of my earlier posts, you know that I started this blog to document my internship at Citygirl. I had no idea that I'd end up using it to document and promote my career post-college. I believe I've touched on some of the events … Continue reading Charmed Life: The Early Days (#TBT)

Update, update, update!
...Can you tell my coffee has kicked in? For someone who loves to write, I sure am failing miserably with my own content. The struggle is real. I can figure out what to say for any company but when it comes to my own stuff...I'm suddenly at a loss for words. I think the biggest … Continue reading Update, update, update!

Officially a College Graduate
I don't want to make this a cheesy graduation post but as the cliche goes, I never thought this day would come. On Sunday (yes, Mother's Day) I walked the stage at the UIC Pavilion and accepted my diploma (holder). Even though school is a headache at times, I realize how lucky I am to … Continue reading Officially a College Graduate

Blending Culture: Photography Profile
For a class project, I created a Flickr with a series of my own photos. They focus on culture through religion and food. They were all taken at different times, without the purpose of this assignment in mind. Personal beliefs aside, I have always had a fascination with various cultures and religions…and I love food. … Continue reading Blending Culture: Photography Profile
