I’m done with college! Woo hoo! If you have been following my blog at least somewhat regularly, you know that I spent the past six months working at Intel as a PR coordinator. I was so incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to work with such a talented and intelligent group of individuals whom I […]


My very first press kit is now up on the online Intel Newsroom! It’s called the “Laptop Buying Guide” and it walks you through the laptop buying process. This is a project that I’ve been able to own from start to finish, and having it go live was a great way to end my internship. […]


Recently, I got to attend an Intel event in NYC. Alison Wesley, from the Intel PR consumer team, asked me to write a blog post for Intel’s consumer blog, recapping the event. If you’re interested, check out the post here! http://scoop.intel.com/2010/11/more-than-just-a-chip-company.php


The Process

23Nov10

I’m putting the materials together for a press kit right now. I had no idea how much of a process this is. Really, I thought I could just write the materials, send them to my manager, get her approval, then send them off to the Intel newsroom. Nope, not so much. I guess I should […]


Staying Sane

12Nov10

I was supposed to leave at 8 this morning on a flight out to Santa Clara for a face-to-face with the Intel PR team. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans for me. Thanks to the excessive fog surrounding the Hillsboro airport, it’s almost 10 and our plane hasn’t even arrived in Hillsboro yet. Consequently, myself […]


Halloween Week

31Oct10

I wish “grownup” Halloween was like Halloween in college – where Halloween turns into a week-long event and every day is an excuse to go to a different party and wear a different costume. Sadly, this year wasn’t like that. But that’s not to say that I didn’t have a good “Halloween week.” The last […]


A few months ago, during my first Intel trip to New York for Tech Spa, I had the opportunity to have dinner with the internal Intel PR team and the Ogilvy PR team (Ogilvy is one of the agencies that does PR for Intel). At dinner, we played a brilliant game (thank you, Ogilvy) that […]


This was a busy, busy week. I did some serious prepping for my business trip, then I spent 24 hours in New York City, where I helped out with an Intel event (“Upgrade Your Life”) and got to meet a whole bunch really cool mommy bloggers! The highlight, for me, was meeting all the bloggers […]


I don’t know what your living situation is, but I live in a very small apartment with my boyfriend Carter. Don’t get me wrong, I love our apartment, but accomplishing anything for work or school is stressful when sharing one desk in a tiny nook in the wall. On top of everything, our desk looks like […]


I woke up with an uneasy feeling in my stomach this morning, thanks to my sudden realization that I forgot to send handwritten thank you notes to the reporters and bloggers I met at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco last month. I was fortunate enough to sit and talk to some of the […]
