Man, it’s tough to write about yourself. Can’t lie, I don’t feel comfortable doing it, but I am taking this Digital Communications class for a reason, and what good is learning if it doesn’t take you outside of your comfort zone? Anyhoo, here we are so I’m going to bite the bullet and tell you what makes me awesome.
- I’m super resourceful. I like to build things and make my own solutions to problems.
- I’m independent. My mother aways said “you could drop my kids anywhere in the world and they’d survive.” She was right and I thank her for that.
- I have lived in four countries and traveled a lot. My mind is wiiiiide open.
- I can’t stop learning. My brain doesn’t like sitting still.
I’m savvy but scrappy, I know my sh*t, I’m a news junkie. I love digging into a challenging project and will do whatever it takes to deliver, but there is another side of me. That side is a truck driving, motorcycle riding country girl who often prefers animal company to human. She can build and fix things. She’s outspoken, dedicated to her causes and, if I wasn’t talking about myself, I’d say she’s kind of a badass. (Hey-o! See how I snuck that in there?)
Professionally, recommendations on my LinkedIn profile tell me that my colleagues think of me as someone reliable, willing to go the extra mile to get the job done. They commend me for my creativity and my ability to connect with clients on both a personal and professional level.
I’m working on finding the happy medium between tech obsessed social web geek and hillbilly recluse. I suppose live tweeting a demolition derby last weekend isn’t it but hey, a girl’s gotta have fun! My friends and colleagues may laugh at my love of engines and puttering around with crafts but they always come to me when they have a question about social media or anything tech/web related.
Eek! Now to run and hide my head for writing such a shameless post! Do you have a hard time writing about yourself? What makes you awesome?
