After two years of designing for the American Camp Association I have moved to a new position as Marketing Specialist with Employment Plus in Bloomington, Indiana. Today was my first day and I’m proud to say that I believe this will be a challenging, diverse, and rewarding step in my career that will provide opportunity to grow and learn. As I move forward, I will be focussing heavily on refining my skills as a designer, expanding my knowledge of business and marketing, and studying the impact that a properly marketed message can have in the business world.

My current goals have not changed much from my college goals:

My career goals are very simple. To constantly learn, constantly adapt to our changing world (both in design and actuality), and to never get comfortable.

My current goals are as follows:

• 1-year: in a position to begin the Internet Marketing Graduate Certificate.
• 5-year: in a position to begin my Masters Degree.
• 10-year: Creative Director in a challenging firm.

As we all know, our goals change with our experiences. I expect my experiences to shape and change these goals as I go, however for now I will be networking, studying, and living in Design & Marketing. 

I’ll try to keep you updated and to share the insights I learn along the way.
