About Me

I wrote my first poem at age six and continued to write poetry throughout college. After graduating with a BA in communications and a concentration in journalism, I’ve continuously found new ways to channel my skills. I’ve worked as a writer and editor at several blogs, an event planner and server for a small organic tea house and a sales associate for several retail stores. All of these positions have taught me that a career path isn’t just straightforward, but rather a zigzag, scrawling line that sometimes circles back before it moves forward. I’m not just a writer and an editor - I'm a explorer and an idea wrangler.

This post is a long one (what else is new?), so bear with me, I have a point. About two months ago, I landed on a site that posted temporary jobs and wound up applying to a Special Events and Marketing position. The required skills were ones I already had and it sounded vaguely promising. Maybe it won't lead to anything, I thought, but it could be something else to pad my resume. I sent off my application and forgot about it.

The next day, I received an email from an HR assistant, requesting me to come in for an interview. The 'o' in the logo had a tie and a banner along the bottom featured airplanes flying over land, with the text in the email enclosed in subdued purple and yellow. My immediate thought was that there was something fishy about this. Getting a reply the day after I applied for the job was just too good to be true. Or was I being too cynical? I asked Sam, my boyfriend, and then for extra security, I forwarded the information to a woman that I dog sit for, who had recently been mentoring me in my job search. Both Sam and her agreed that it was suspicious, but thought it couldn't hurt to meet them.
