I think you'll find that this is going to serve you well, as long as you are writing with passion, which, so far, I think you are. Secondly, thanks for the shout out. I can't stress it enough, networking is so important! National conference got me Penelope as my mentor, who lead me to SXSW where I met Adam Keats, SVP of the Digital practice at Weber Shandwick. And the rest, as they day, is history. A note to your readers: it's important to develop the design skills and writing skills, because those are the core of your knowlegde base. I can speak from experience that at least in an agency world, your first internship/position will be a TON of research (and some grunt work if you aren't specialized). If anyone has questions about the transition, relocating, or agency life, feel free to shoot me an email! Jasmine, keep it up, best of luck to you and stay I'm touch! -Sydney Jasmine,
