Welcome to Brazen Careerist!

About Me

My name is Kasey Kaplan. I graduated from Albion College in 2010 with a double major in Economics & Management, and Communications. Currently I am in grad school at Oakland University working on my Master's in Training and Development. I would consider myself a fairly active and outgoing person. I love being and doing things in the outdoors (such as whitewater canoeing, whitewater kayaking, camping, backpacking, cycling, mountain biking, triathlons, and adventure racing), but I also love social media, new technology, cutting edge mobile devices, future trends, and anything related to innovative. I graduate from Oakland in the Spring of 2012!
