A bit about me:
Though I am State College native, attending Penn State was a hardly a foregone conclusion. After weighing various offers and financial concerns, I chose Penn State and the Schreyer Honors College. It's been a great decision: academically, socially, inside and outside of the classroom the university whose shadow I grew up under has consistently surprised me and exceeded my expectations. Though subject to change, I plan to pursue majors in Economics and French, and likely a minor in International Studies. While my classes have enhanced my studies, my extracurricular involvements and formal research have more forcefully furthered my interests. I will be studying abroad in France all summer.
The goal of this site is, I suppose, twofold. First, it's more or less a resource for myself. Essentially a dumping ground for my best work, I can refer back to the site if I find myself searching for inspiration, an example, or to amuse myself with work I'm proud of. More importantly, however, it's a resource for others. I write for Onward State, a Penn State news blog. We often talk about building an online presence, or "brand". This is in essence one's online personality, a combination of one's twitter persona, postings to the site, and influence in the Penn State social media scene. It is time for me to start building this brand, for others to see, and I hope this site is a starting point.
