Intro Post

Looking back through the posts to ensure that I have completed all components of this course, it looks like my introduction post never got published!
Thankfully, I have it saved, so here it is (better late than never!):


After graduating from the University of Calgary a few years ago with a Bachelor of Commerce in Marketing and a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology, I took off on a trip around the world for a couple years and then returned back to Alberta, with a move to Edmonton. I'm currently working as the Marketing & Communications Coordinator for the Education Abroad program within the University of Alberta's International department. As the sole individual responsible for this portfolio, I certainly have a lot on my plate! With the help of a student assistant, I manage all of our social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Pinterest); create and manage content for our website, a weekly e-newsletter, direct email campaigns, information sessions and coordinate all of our major events.

In addition to pursuing the Social Media Citation through University of Alberta Extension, I am also currently enrolled in a post-graduate diploma program in Public Relations at the University of Victoria.

I look forward to learning more about the world of Social Media through this course and how to effectively use the various platforms to communicate in my current role and wherever my career takes me.
