Career

I am a social networking specialist. Yes, you heard (read) me correctly. I am on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, MySpace, and social networking platforms that haven't made their official debut all day long. Yes, that all sounds like fun, but the best part of my job are the people I work with.

I started my job as an intern my senior year of college and started full time the Monday after college graduation. I majored in marketing and that's exactly what I do everyday, but it's not direct marketing. My job is not about shouting at people to pay attention to my clients, but to ensure that a voice is present on the social networks that is interacting with the consumers.

The fun part of my job is meeting with my clients and brainstorming with the media team.

Tonight the P|R team got to mix and mingle with current (and hopefully future) clients and vendors that we work with on a daily basis. We sponsored an event at the Parthenon and wore our mandtory attire: ladies in all black with hot pink boas, men in black with hot pink ties and pink and black van tennis shoes.

Needless to say, we don't disappoint when we show up as a company. Here's the best photo of the night:

Too bad we could not put a boa on Athena :)
