Hi friends, it’s been a while!
After an exhilarating year and a half, I am ecstatic to share that I have graduated from the University of Washington Communication Leadership program with a Master’s in Communication in Communities and Networks, specializing in Storytelling. Building on the incredible foundation laid as an undergrad at The College of Wooster, this program was an opportunity to learn and experience advanced, industry-specific skills and strategies including copywriting, crisis communication, content marketing, audio and visual storytelling, remote and distributed team management, campaign planning, communication ethics, and more.
Beyond the specific coursework, I am so thankful for the opportunity to work with such an amazing cohort of curious thinkers, insightful educators, and generous partner organizations who compose the Comm Lead network.
After wrapping up my coursework and spending time hiking, traveling, and enjoying newfound free time (what was that again?), I decided to dive back into my Comm Lead portfolio and share some of my favorite tidbits with you. For the next few days, I am looking forward to sharing some highlights of the past year and a half.
I’d also like to extend an open invitation to anyone reading this (yes, you!) to ask me any questions you like about the University of Washington, the Seattle area, or especially the Communication Leadership at the University of Washington program. I was drawn to how groundbreaking and unique it is in the realm of advanced communication degrees and would love to chat.
