thinking about Italy

Whenever I see photos of Rome, memories flood back. I envision it as if I returned yesterday. I miss the sights & sounds; living in a city thousands of years old. I can still taste the cappuccino and cornetto, the quattro formaggi gnocchi, the pizza in Sorrento, and the horrendous fish dinner. Oh, and how can I forget the gelato. I could really go for some stracciatella and ricotta right...

Burson Marsteller

Today I attended the Burson Marsteller company presentation at DePaul. I absolutely loved it! The organization and practice areas seem so interesting and it got me excited about PR, advertising, and marketing all over again. And it opened my eyes to new areas, such as digital and technology.

Chicago Tourist Season

Allow me to preface this with the fact that I understand tourism is a vital part of Chicago’s status as a major metropolitan area and a world class city (those qualities are one of the many reasons I chose to attend college in the city), filled with opportunity. But I’m sorry, tourists can be annoying. No offense to any Chicago tourists. I was a tourist in Rome. Until I apparently...

Holidays in the City

Well, I successfully spent the majority of my six week break NOT in the suburbs (insert happy dance). Instead, I lived, worked, and played in the beautiful city of Chicago, being the Lincoln Park girl that I am. In a way, December gave me a taste of the post-grad experience.
