A few things about Katie

Posted by: | January 26, 2014 | No Comment |

I am currently a senior and majoring in Foreign Languages with a focus in Chinese. My passion and interest revolves around the history, culture, and language of China. My interest in China came from a High School study abroad program I did to Beijing and Qingdao for a summer. China was a completely different world that I wanted to learn more about and currently still pursuing my interest in the country.

I also enjoy hiking and being outdoors in general. I live a life style based around being a vegetarian and being proactive towards the humane treatment towards animals.

In the past, I have taken a blogging class at the University of Mary Washington. This class taught me the wonders of Word Press and creating media on the internet such as making YouTube videos. I was also introduced to Creative Commons, a nonprofit group that allows work to be shared over the internet easily.

I have also worked with social media closely during two of my internships at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum and Freer|Sackler Gallery. During these two internships, I worked in the Public Relations department, I would monitor the twitter, facebook, and Quora websites for each museum. I became especially fond of Quora by reaching out to scientist and researchers with questions that followers would ask the Natural History Museum. I also became familiar with Google and all that is offered on this search engine.

Currently, like any other college student I use social media websites including twitter, facebook, and instagram. I also am an avid texter on my Iphone.
