I was lucky to have started my PhD program in Fall

I was lucky to have started my PhD program in Fall 2019, because the world changed the next semester. I remember telling my advisor about withdrawing until I could take in-person classes again.

Really glad I didn't take that route.

Instead, I took more classes since I no longer had commutes. School was definitely a distraction from what felt like the world burning. Pursuing an advanced degree has its own set of challenges, but in the middle of a pandemic, too?

As I thought about incoming students, I wanted to help in the only way I knew how: Service. I wanted to create sustainable resources for master's and PhD students, so I ran for and won the vice presidency for the Communication Graduate Student Association for the 2021-2022 school year.

Over the past year, I've worked with the executive board to develop programming for students to engage with their peers (as well as faculty) to have information and gain key insights into this academic lifestyle. From online student-led panels on a variety of in-demand subjects to social gatherings at Piedmont Park to 1:1 meetings to developing an online resource archive, I'm continuing the work in the next school year as the incoming CGSA president.

At the end of the spring semester, I was recognized by the department with this service award, which was a nice surprise. I look forward to meeting the incoming students ... and passing the torch for future CGSA leaders.

New on the Blog: "In the workplace, Black people

New on the Blog:

"In the workplace, Black people have been expected to solve a problem that we didn’t create. There is a belief that we have to be the solution to our own trauma when we are not the cause of it. Additionally, when we have spoken up, it got brushed aside."

Sunday's sermon really spoke to me.

My checks have never bounced. #SWIPE

I really love teaching on the college level. This is the peak of my professional fulfillment.

I walked away from a successful 15-year, full-time marketing and journalism career and entered into something that has been such a rewarding experience.

Stepping out on faith has been the best decision of my life, and returning to the classroom as a professor has been the ultimate adventure.

I get to be ME.

At the @uwestga, I get to bring my professional background into the classroom (AND those of my friends who are in the MarComm industry) to create an integrative learning experience. As a bonus, I get to teach a special course about women, business, and leadership at @georgiastateuniversity (s/o to my @womenleadgsu students)!!! #swipetosee

This is truly my dream job.
