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.

Cutting Loose: On Extracting Myself From Corporate Retail

Since my last post, there have been some new and happier changes in my life. Of course, I was upset about getting fired. But surprisingly, I managed to find a new job within less than two weeks. Before I applied for the new job, I put a lot of thought into my schedule and how I wanted to spend my time. I had discussed it with Sam and my mother, one of the smartest and most rational people I know. Should I remain unemployed, struggling financially, while I go through another wave of cover letters and resumes? Or should I just jump in and get another part-time job?

On a whim, I applied to a clothing and home store that I had always really liked. The handful of times I had shopped there in the past, I had come away feeling like the employees were friendly and the atmosphere was fun. Within an hour of hitting submit on my resume, the owner of the store called me. A few days later, I went in for an interview and got the job. Two months later, I'll admit that although it's been a whirlwind, I really enjoy it.
