About Me

Welcome to my blog! I've created "Musings of a 20-something" as part of my graduate communication class. I'll respond to assigned readings here, per the syllabus, but I also hope to share some insight into my life: a twenty-something employee, student, and wife.

A little bit about me:

I'm an Alma College grad. I've quickly realized this is very unique in the masters program at Grand Valley State University. Everyone else seems to be from GVSU or Western Michigan University. My small, obscure liberal arts college doesn't even seem to be on the radar. That's alright. I studied Communication and Sociology, sang in the Alma College Choir, and did college student stuff, like eat a lot of cereal and make life long friends.

I've worked at Baudville for three years, starting one day after I graduated from college. My current title is Public Relations Coordinator, and I do a little bit of everything PR, web, marketing and employee recognition. I've edited and maintained Baudville's blog for over a year now. If you're interested in employee recognition, check it out!

In my free time, I love to read fiction, go running, and hang out with my husband around our Middleville house. We like the quiet of the country, and our home is our little escape. He's also in graduate school at GVSU, so you may see us around campus before or after class. We're kinda cute.

I decided to go back to school because I think a masters degree will be important in 10 years in the working world. Many of my contemporaries went to graduate school after college because there were so few jobs available. I believe graduate degrees are going to be expected of our generation, and I want to make sure I compete in the future. Getting my masters is also a personal goal of mine to further my education, and I believe it will help me lead a marketing communications department in the future.

That's enough about me. What about you?
