I’ll be honest – I don’t sleep (often). It has nothing to do with insomnia, an espresso overdose or my pair of 20-pound Siamese cats constantly hogging the bed. I never look forward to sleep because I spend every moment of my day pursuing my passions. Some might call it “work,” but wait… aren’t you supposed to dislike going to work?

I’m a December 2011 graduate of Florida Gulf Coast University, and the first (of two) graduates of the FGCU Journalism major.

I’m really busy, but love every second of it. Currently I’m:

•  Director of Media Relations for the Florida Jr. Blades hockey club
• Communications Director for Hockey Primetime
• A producer and reporter for WGCU’s television show the FGCU Sports Report
• And just finished my position as the teaching assistant/tech ninja for FGCU’s inaugural Audio/Video Journalism class.

I’m an avid tweeter, hockey fan and legend has it that my BlackBerry iPhone is surgically attached to my palm.

As the daughter of a tenured radio broadcaster and station owner, my first on-air experience was at age four. When I was 13, I begged my parents for a video camera, computer and editing software. My parents succumbed to my teenage demands, and their investment is still paying off today.

Technology and media come naturally to me, I’m constantly chasing the latest trends in social media and journalism and learning the newest technologies and programs to stay ahead.

I don’t have veins, I have wires.

I was recently featured on an episode of BizKid$, a nationally-syndicated television show for teens and young adults. Because of my passion for networking and social media, I was featured on the episode “How to Get a Job” in order to share my experiences with kids and help them move forward with their dreams.

I’m always looking to connect with new people – and welcome phone calls, emails, Tweets, pokes, instant messages, LinkedIn connections, text messages or even a good ol’ fashioned letter if your laptop battery dies.

Just be sure you message me with proper grammar… or else.
