Communication
The ability to communicate is among the most important skillsets for an individual (or group) to have. There is so much room for miscommunication and misunderstanding (especially with the various digital tools we have today). Good intentions and quality products (or services) mean nothing if the communication surrounding them is not expressed properly.
I love how communication and technology intersect. Never before has humanity held such opportunity to communicate quickly and globally. This is why I studied Communication for a Bachelor of Science at Kennesaw State University.
Below you can see my various work experiences in the field of communication. I recommend you also visit my Marketing page, as much of my work there can also apply to this field. Furthermore, my Home page features a curated collection of articles I have written over the years. Take a look and feel free to comment if you really enjoy an article.
