#TeamWebComm

Look at these people! Not the most current photo of Team Web Comm but though people change, the team spirit and office atmosphere remain the same. This fun group is full of total bosses and together, we combine our powers for good on a daily basis. Additionally, we have an incredible administration who has given us the perfect balance of freedom and support to ensure success.

My Interns

Kylie, Ramsey, Ryan, Karen, Erin and Cameron, you will never escape me ;) and I will always be your biggest cheerleader. It's my wish that each one of you surpass me in all aspects of life and success. I know this will happen because you're all incredibly gifted, smart, professional and driven. Plus you're all so dang likable and fun I can hardly stand being away from you.

My Sooner Fam

One of the most refreshing aspects of any job is everyone working together for a common goal. I had this there and I'll have it at LegalShield. It's the best.

The Campus

I mean, have you seen it?! It's glorious. Because this job can be so 24/7 and portable (hello, my phone is with me at all times and my phone = work), I made a couple of personal rules so social media never ruled me completely.

1. No phone while driving...which is also an actual rule by law or something. This is my one time in this post to say: Don't use your phone and drive. It's dangerous and unnecessary.

And rule #2: No phone while walking across campus. I always enjoyed taking in campus and the people on campus. What better way to study my audience than being in the midst of them? And our campus has won awards for its beauty so why would I not look at it?!

The Food

With an office located on Campus Corner, I was never in short supply of very accessible and delicious food. While I will miss this, it will probably help my weight-loss journey. If you know me well, you probably also know that my favorite place to eat is at the Caf. Seventeen restaurants in one; seventeen times the fun.

6

The Lectures

Being on a college campus also means lots of opportunities for continued education. But beyond that, there's always incredible speakers who come to discuss and talk about really interesting topics. I'll still try to make it to some and that will be ok because most are free and open to the public. You should go to some too!

The Tradition and History

It's everywhere. On campus. At events. In and out of the classroom. It's electric and so much fun to be part of.

The Fun

Where there are college students, there is fun. They have so much energy and pep. They're rarely jaded and they're just plain fun. For the last several years I've maintained my youthful glow by breathing in youth like those witches on Hocus Pocus. Ha!

The Content

I've gotten acquainted with many different kinds of content through working in a university setting. I'm excited to put these skills to other uses but always still as a force for good. And as many of you know, finding creative content solutions to common marketing problems is one of my specialties.

The Numbers

You know what really gets me excited? Analytics. I love seeing that sharp uptick to the right on graphs and massive growth on bar charts. Don't even get me started on pie charts. Imma continue that growth in my new gig and I'm so proud of the success we've had at OU. I'll probably frame our growth charts in my home office.
