Hi everyone!
My name is Adrianne and I live in Romeoville, Illinois (a bit southwest of beautiful Chicago).
I have been employed with a nonprofit company for almost three years. I am truly lucky to be able to say that I enjoy my job and the people I interact with (most of ‘em, anyway).
Some of my job responsibilities include writing public service announcements, managing a radio interview program, planning committee meetings, assisting our media relations team, and working to facilitate our company’s annual meeting. However, my main responsibility is overseeing our public education Web site (www.radiologyinfo.org), including development of content, proofreading/editing, and promotion. This Web site, although non-revenue generating, is the reason I have a job!
Prior to my current position, I spent about a year and a half floundering and trying my best to essentially find a job like the one I have now. Before that, I was working on a bachelor’s degree in business communication from Trinity Christian College. On a personal note, I would have to say the best thing about my college experience was the opportunity to play softball. My entire childhood was spent playing some sort of sport and I feel fortunate to have been able to play as long as I did.
I love to read and write-I’m a nerd in that sense. I like turning ordinary happenings into stories (and often times regaling my best friend with the smallest of instances in dramatic fashion). I love to laugh. I love to travel. I’ve been a few places, but not nearly as many as I’d like to go. I’m a sucker for quirky and fun television shows and I am mad about music. I enjoy shopping-especially for shoes and makeup. Dislikes: incompetence, hot dogs.
I am pursuing a master’s degree in integrated marketing communications through West Virginia University. I’m currently taking my fourth and fifth courses in the program. All of my fingers are crossed in hope that I will graduate in early 2010!
I’ve created this blog so that I can tell you my thoughts about how various forms of emerging media are impacting IMC, the world and my life.
Enjoy!!
