So what do I do or hope to accomplish with my life?

Ask me “What do you do?” and I'll have the urge to tell you that I am a communicator.

But what does that even mean?

As time passes and I continue to grow and develop personally and professionally, I find that my career goals are constantly changing with me. Details of my life and career aspirations start to transform with time. And that’s perfectly fine. Normal, even.

At the heart of all that I enjoy doing – and I enjoy doing many, many things – is my love of communication, both written and spoken. My affinity for words and human connection are what lie at the foundation of my being. Since I was in elementary school, I knew deep down that what I wanted out of life and my job was to make a difference with this passion.

My job title – journalist, public relations professional, marketer, social media specialist, blogger, etc. – will most likely continue to fluctuate over time, especially when societal and technological advancements come into play. I could be connecting a publication to its audience, an organization to the people it serves or simply (albeit importantly) one human being to another. The channels carrying this communication will range from newspapers to online publications to Facebook or Twitter, and much, much more. I expect that all of this will continue to transform with me.

But despite these variations, the rush I get when I'm even just a little successful in bringing people together in any way, shape, or form, will never change.

So when you ask me what I do, I may answer with any one of the above job titles or perhaps something different.

But my favorite answer to that question? Easy.

I am a writer, a talker, a listener, a communicator. An ambitious millennial who thrives on human connection and her own curiosity. And I am so excited (though undoubtedly nervous at times) to see where this passion steers me in my career and in life.

This post may be interpreted as vague but this is just one of the many perspectives I have on answering the unavoidable "So what do you do/want to do?" question. I could go on about specific short term goals or certain things I want to accomplish :)
