Alright. About as far as I’ve gotten on this blogging platform is sitting through a lecture on how to use it. I’ll admit, I didn’t really pay attention. But, as they say, I’m a “Digital Native,” so I’m sure I’ll have this beauty figured out in no time.

The intention for this blog is strictly journalism. At least, for now. I’ll post some of my own news content (stories, photos, video), things I’ve learned and potentially news stories I find interesting.

Currently, I’ve got a strong interest in working in social media for a news organization in the future. I believe that social media is the most powerful tool a journalist/news organization can use to get their content noticed, and get interaction with the audience—which is ultimately the most important aspect of this calling.

Each semester I’ve spent studying journalism at the University of Oklahoma has made me exponentially more passionate about my chosen trade. This semester, especially, I’ve just found myself falling in love with the profession.

I’m ready to immerse myself, and this is where I’ll share what happens on that ride.
