Hi everyone! My name is Libby Sankey and I am an Integrated Marketing Communication student at Slippery Rock University. After my graduation in 2022, I hope to have a career in social media marketing. I am interested in the fashion, lifestyle, and social media industries. I want to create content and assist a brand with their social media presence, engagement, and marketing.
My blog for New-Media Journalism class is titled "Oh So Social". Social media is a large part of my professional and personal life. However, I also consider being social and friendly to be an important part of myself as a person. I love to take and share photos, mostly of: food, iced coffee, outfits, and my pet bulldog, Dozer. I also love to talk (go figure, as a communication student).
Current times have forced us to connect more virtually, versus in person. Being social online has its benefits, especially when building a network for future employment, as I am currently doing. Right now, I work a fully remote position as an Amazon Student Prime Campus Manager. This position especially has positively influenced my online network but also my skills in social media marketing.
Being social online has also helped me to be more aware of current events and news. When it comes to staying up to date with the news, I mostly use my laptop or phone. The New York Times is my go-to for worldwide news because I find it to be unbiased and to truthful to the story being told. The Rocket is my news source for campus news because I am an active student at Slippery Rock University. I like to read about sports, clubs, and other events on campus. Like I mentioned before, I use my phone for news on Snapchat or Twitter because it is accessible in the apps I already use. In this case I prefer to read Buzzfeed for entertainment and other news because the outlet's tone and way of telling stores is both trendy and relatable to me. Buzzfeed also covers lifestyle and pop culture stories that I enjoy.
Thanks for reading my first blog post and stay "Oh So Social" with me on Twitter and Facebook to ensure you never miss a post!
