Building a Presence

Outside of this blog, I have written anonymously for a few other blogs and websites, but rarely have I put my name on them because when you write about politics, unless it is a paid job, you don't necessarily want your name tied to your political beliefs.  Today, I am stepping out from behind the curtain because I believe what I have written are good examples of the work it takes to tackle topics that I wanted to know more about, or was challenged to research. 

The posts previous to this are dated at the end of each title, which is the year in which I wrote the piece.  

The writings I have otherwise linked to on the page "My Research Papers, Projects, & Creative Writing" are all original pieces I wrote while pursuing my degree. 

This blog will serve as a way for anyone and everyone to get to know more about me and my abilities.  It is also a platform to share what I believe to be informative pieces that serve as a social analysis on an array of topics.  Sometimes I am more serious, and other times a bit more straight-forward and candid.    

Social media is not big part of my life, and I am not an active participant of social platforms.  I will write more about that in the future.  The short story is that I believe social media can be toxic to our psyche.  We are living in a world where people measure their worth by how many likes and shares they get on social platforms, and I want to divert from that as a mother, setting an example for my children.  So, outside of LinkedIn, this is my space to share what I observe, feel, and have researched and/or analyzed.  You can also learn more about me and my education in my blog pages, listed in the tabs above.  

I am really excited about this blog and tending to the format, new posts, and content while I have time off from my schooling.  I have about a month before my last semester and I hope to be able to continue keeping up with the blog when my last semester starts.  

If you happen to come across this blog and are in the position to mention a job opportunity (as I am currently seeking a job), where my personal attributes can contribute to your organization, please visit my profile on LinkedIn and contact me.  

Thank you for your time!
