Introduction

My name is Teal, and I am studying both speech communication and graphic design. I was originally  studying only graphic design, but as I came to recognize all of my talents, it made sense for me to obtain both degrees. After graduating with both degrees, I would like to work in the field of Public Relations and Marketing. Specifically, in a way that I can help people, possibly in the health care industry. Currently, I'm working as an Intern in that industry, and it is suiting me quite well.

Communication, along with psychology and statistics, have greatly interested me for much of my life. Studying how people are, why they do things, and what they mean, are all fascinating to me. The study of communication in particular, is interesting because we communicate constantly nonverbally, or verbally. It's simply something we cannot turn off.

Between my joy for writing, design, speeches, and an interest in why we do the things we do, I was never quite certain on how I could combine all of my interests, into an actual career. When I discovered the world of PR & Marketing, it felt as though everything "clicked", and I became very excited about what the future held for me!

Beyond that, in my spare time, I enjoy going on long hikes, or simply enjoying the outdoors in some fashion. With that being said, I have a small blog tealstreksandtravels.blogspot.com that you are more than welcome to check out! The blog posts are extremely detailed, detailing the entire hike to truly take you on the journey. Enjoy!

Best,

Teal
