The Beginning
Welcome to my weekly blog update! A recent graduate of The Ohio State University, full time experimental baker/cook (just for fun), movie-watching enthusiast and event planner by trade, follow me on my oddessy as young professional navigating the uncharted waters of my first full-time job; event planning for Buckeye Interactive within the Columbus area tech community.
