Auto-Bio

It’s odd to write an autobiography that is somewhat anonymous. This might be a check off on the bucket list for me.  So my sample piece was a little heavy, sorry about that, but the rest of these posts will be far from that.

I work in the marketing/public relations department in a relatively large company in an industry fairly new to social media. I went to college in the North East and graduated a couple years ago and have been with this company since then. I’ve learned a lot about communications, public relations, advertising and marketing functioning as a needed component within a larger company that has many departments. At times, my department almost serves as an internal agency for the larger whole of the company. It keeps my life interesting, and I have (and am) learned (ing) a lot.

I graduated from college in the height of the recession and like many of my peers wasn’t quite sure what to do, but I was happy to land my job and work for a bit and then make the decision to go back to school. I’m happy to be here, happy to know that I’m confident in this choice.

I’m a New Yorker, not a native city dweller, and possibly just a brief inhabitant of the Kings County borough (Brooklyn, NY & specifically the neighborhoods of Red Hook, Carroll Gardens, Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill [Cobbled], Fort Greene, and The Heights) for now. Enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would. I always pictured myself on a different coast; but am embracing the new findings in Brooklyn. You may have picked up on that by now, or I might be too vague for my own good.

My writing can be confusing, so my number one goal, well maybe top five goal, for the semester is to clarify more, if I am being honest. Constructive criticism is super welcome. (Did you hate that I used the word ‘super’? Let me know! And why!)

Happy to get to know you, no really I am.

  1. Looking forward to following your blog this semester. Just curious, what was your major in college? Did you always want to work in marketing/PR?

    1. I tried to cover it a bit in my revised ‘About Me’; though I also didn’t want it to be too long. There is a longer story (then in the About Me) about my marketing path, if you want chat maybe via twitter (or maybe like to see a post?) I’d be interested! I’d love to hear more about the music industry.

  2. I want to read more. If your goal is to leave the audience in the air, that’s not bad, so being vague shouldn’t be any more an issue than a tool. Continue to develop the writing that makes you happy and worry not so much about what is said, but more so how you enjoy writing until you perfect your style. I look forward to this.
