Someone on Mashable put up a social media quiz (I can’t find it right now) and it mentioned constantly updating your personal portfolio site with professional and personal (but not TMI personal) information.

So I thought, Why not?

What’s up this week:

• Posted a couple articles on EcoStreets about Maglev and road construction.
• Trying hard to establish a routine after temporarily moving back down from Reno to Las Vegas. I’m (hopefully) starting an internship with the City of Las Vegas. It’s tough being that family members keep showing up and wanting to stay up til 3 am.
• Playing Wii. I don’t get to play so much when in grad school, so I’m taking advantage.
• Working on a Flash “movie” with my niece who’s a great illustrator. Stay tuned for that
• Working on a study to evaluate the economics of parking at Nevada universities.

That’s it so far.

I am a master’s student at the University of Nevada, Reno in Interactive and Environmental Journalism. Here, I hope to learn and invent new ways to think about and do journalism – engaging the public, multimedia, social media, and, of course, writing stories.

This blog is aimed at potential employers, professors and teachers, and curious readers. I’ve uploaded my resume and linked to writing samples and other blogs. Feel free to click around!

 I believe that using technology can only enhance the stories we choose to tell, whether it be personal or journalistic. It creates a smaller, more interconnected world. Only then can we see the lives and struggles of others thousands of miles away as our own.
