MORE OF AN INTRO (UNIT 6)

I’m a Seattle native, went to Seattle Academy of Arts and Sciences for high school and graduated in 2007.  I attended the University of Arizona in Tucson for two years, before deciding to travel to Central America.  I planned on being there for two months, but before I knew it I'd been living in Honduras for nearly a year earning my PADI diving certification through Utila Dive Centre and eventually teaching tourists how to scuba dive as well as managing the shop bar.  I recently started my own fashion blog called W by HARRIS - feel free to check it out. I love gaining new readers and followers. 

My objectives and goals seem to be ever-changing, but over the past year I’ve felt more sure of my decisions (at least things I want to and am willing to try!), giving me a bit more of a ‘direction’ for the next few years of my life.  Having recently gotten involved in blogging and furthered my knowledge and consequently interest in social media, I’m hoping to move to LA by the end of the summer in pursuit of a social media-based position like I have now.  I’ve been itching to be in a new place with new people, so I feel the move will be an exciting and possibly life changing event!

Although my blog has a somewhat general theme, I was excited about the ‘freedom’ my new blog allows me (versus the pretty ‘strict’ theme of my fashion blog); I look forward to writing about my experiences as a student, social media enthusiast & blogger.

Welcome!

Hey everyone,

I'm excited to start the blogging portion of CMST 275!  As I mentioned in my WEEK 5 SOCIAL ACTIVITY post, my blog will contain much more writing than my already-established fashion blog, W by HARRIS.

I plan on writing entries as they come to me (in addition to our assigned posts), focusing on my daily experiences, random thoughts and opinions and life in general in regards to being an online student at South Seattle Community College, social media manager, marketer and enthusiast and a blogger looking forward to gaining more experience!

Feel free to check out my related social media sites (links can be found at the top of my blog in the 'menu' as well as on the right-hand sidebar).  I'm always looking for advice, tips, criticisms, comments, etc. when it comes to my social media presence and blog especially, so please don't hesitate to drop me a comment, send a message, shoot me a tweet (I think you get the picture!)...

Cheers,

Kate
