About Me

I am career switcher. I've gone from a high school English teacher in Northern Virginia to freshly graduated with a masters degree in journalism from the University of Missouri. I've spent most of my twenties trying to figure out what I'm passionate about. Right now, it is media research and how media impacts life and community. I'm a huge proponent of finding a good work/life balance (learned that the hard way) so when I'm not tweeting or blogging you can find me on the tennis court, at a coffee shop with my nose in a book or scouring the streets for the perfect cupcake.
