Having It All
Tweet I am that girl who everyone knows as driven and optimistic. I’m rarely without a smile (dimples included!) and when I think something is really funny, my nerdy laugh comes out. I strive to do the best job I can at everything I do, even if things are stressful and difficult. I bring an

Can’t Define My Brand…Yet
Tweet I am the girl that everyone knows as really loud. I tried to think of an adjective that people would universally agree on - as we are all different versions of ourselves with the various people in our lives – and I think loud is the only thing I consistently always am. I would

Shades of Blue
Tweet It wouldn’t be a coincidence that my favorite color is derived from the calming shades of blue. When trying to define my brand, I thought the best way to describe myself would be from the colors of “hue-man” traits. I’m blue.“da ba de da ba di.” (Sorry, I couldn’t help it.) When you look

There is Nothing Generic About This Brand
Tweet It is interesting to think about your own personal brand. Nearly every item on Earth has one if not multiple brands, but yet it’s hard to think of me as a brand. You won’t find my name printed on trendy shirts or on food packaging, but my identity and personal brand exists, even though

Unwavering Values

Authentic Values
Tweet When I was younger, I used to get so upset when two of my friends both asked me to do something on the same day – I didn’t want to upset either of them by saying I had other plans. As I grew up, I realized that the reason I had such a difficult

The Importance of Acceptance
Tweet I consider myself to be a deeply spiritual person, and my most important value is the belief that the God that exists in me exists in everyone else too. I grew up Christian, and though I no longer identify with that religion, it definitely influences some of my other beliefs now. My spirituality is

Values Are Golden
Tweet Core values are something that is embedded in all of us, no matter what they may be. When given this blog topic, I was surprised to learn that it took me a while to think about what my core values are. It seems like core values and conscience go hand in hand. While I

Wanderlust
Tweet I think one of those defining characteristic of my childhood was how much I moved. My parents were consumed by wanderlust – or maybe the belief that happiness was anywhere else but where we were – and we moved on average every two- three years. I spent the first eight years of my life
