Welcome to Brazen Careerist!

About Me

Creative, outgoing, reflective, curious, passionate, and honest; just a few words I and others have used to describe me. I'm still young and still figuring things out, but my interests lie in communication theory and application, blogging, writing, social justice, civic responsibility, and anything else that requires me to delve in and figure things out. I'm here on BC to soak up as much knowledge as I can and hopefully meet some great people along the way.
