A new job for the new grad
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 first press kit!
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. […]

The Process
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 […]

A New York Minute
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 […]

How I organized my desk
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 […]

When to send “thank you” cards
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 […]
