| Introduction | Welcome to my blog! We will discuss various issues facing communication and media, as well as other topics of interest. I love to talk, and I hope that you and I can engage in stimulating, yet profound conversations on all subject matter! As a former print journalist and public relations specialist, I enjoy the two-way communication that exists between the company and consumer. It is my belief that businesses and media outlets will thrive when there is ongoing communication and evolvement. I am currently a graduate student at Troy University (e-campus) seeking a MS in Strategic Communication. Upon graduation, there are a myriad of employment options I've considered: a).working for a top PR firm; b). doing public relations/marketing for a state agency; and C). working for a Fortune 10 company. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!! |
