While taking a New Media Tools course, I explored how businesses are leveraging visual content to tell their stories and connect with audiences. In this activity, I curated, organized and shared a collection of images visually communicating my MCBS journey. View my portfolio star submissions on my blog: www.msmartines.tumblr.com
2. Martine, can you
help me figure
how to work this
thing-ama-bob?
Sure thing,
Nancy!
Before I started the MCBS program, I was always known
as the “go-to for gadgets” or “tech-it” girl.
3. At one point, I
even worked
for
GATEWAY
computers
conducting
technical
support for
users
4. I always thought I wanted to be a teacher,
but it was my 7th grade teacher who sort of
de-motivated me from becoming one.
You don’t want to
teach kids…
Unless, you want to
go crazy!
6. Because of that, I moved on to developing an interest in
psychology as I’m always fascinated by people’s behavior
and what makes them do the things they do.
7. Unfortunately, the psychology
route was not looking too good
as I came to realize that I didn’t
want to be in school for 8+ years
to get a Ph.D.
9. Therefore, I took a more familiar
approach by embarking on a
technology related degree
while working full-time at small
businesses.
10. This is where I decided to
demonstrate my technical
skills in media
communications for projects
like mass e-mailings,
newsletters, press releases,
articles, seminar marketing
materials, announcements,
social media, website
maintenance, etc.
11. I’ve experienced working in different office settings ranging
from an underwriting insurance company; to an aerospace
cable distributing company; to now an investment advisory
firm where I have been given flexibility to utilize my technical
skills in communications.
12. I now realize that I
am supposed to go
“full-force” with
EXPANDING
my knowledge
related to media
communications
15. I looked into many different schools that offered
Communications programs which all caught my
attention…
AT FIRST
Let’s name a few…
Connecticut School of Broadcasting
New England Tech Institution
Central Connecticut State University
University of Phoenix
Johnson & Wales University
16. But when I researched the schools in more depth, they seemed to
be missing the ESSENTIAL QUALITIES
I was looking for in a degree program
