I’m tired of the cold weather…really. I’ve never been a fan of weather under 70 degrees anyway (this is why I HAVE to move to Southern California after I finish grad school). Dallas’ weather is so bi-polar! The crazy allergies and the state’s confused temperature moods are getting really old. I’m ready for spring and … Continue reading »
Operation: Social Santa DFW recap
In just one month, young pros in Dallas came together to launch Operation: Social Santa DFW. I was stoked to be on the committee. We basically started this project (from a local angle) from scratch. I’m proud to say Dallas has a great crowd of Gen-Y professionals that helped make this project successful. Operation: Social … Continue reading »

I was feeling a bit nostalgic the other day and decided to turn some of my college memories into a blog post. I was lucky enough to hold five internships while in college- four were specially in the public relations industry and one was writing for the school newspaper. My intentions of this blog were … Continue reading »
Super Bowl 46 commericials
Though I wasn’t a fan of either team during Super Bowl 46, I still tuned in to watch and critique the commercials. Here are a few of my favorites from tonight: Less Is More David Beckham’s ad for H&M sure reflected on the phrase “less is more.” (I didn’t even know he had all those tattoos!) Beckham’s poses … Continue reading »

Websites such as Google, WordPress, … Continue reading »

Employers … Continue reading »
