Welcome!

Hello and welcome to my blog! With this "virtual portfolio" I'm hoping to give possible employers (or maybe even friends) better insight into who I am and what I'm all about. Please scroll down to see my resume and some examples of my work in the Radio/TV/Film and Public & Mass tracks of The College of New Jersey's Communication Studies department. On the sidebar you will find some helpful links to different websites of importance to me, as well as a list of all previous blog postings. Thank you so much for visiting, and I hope you enjoy your journey through the wide world of me!

Letter of Intent

Dear Viewer,

Thank you for your interest in my blog! I hope you find what you are looking for as you are guided through my interests, experiences and plans for the future. 

I am a well-rounded, motivated individual who can work well independently or cooperatively as part of a team. I truly enjoy meeting new people and and am very outgoing and willing to talk about whatever may come my way. I am constantly striving to learn more about the world and those in it. I have a passion for knowledge and constantly give 100% towards whatever goal may be set before me. 

With this blog, I intend to showcase all areas of  my background in radio, television, public speaking and writing. Here, you will see examples of scripts I have written, TV shows I have been a part of and presentations I have given. I know I will be a great addition to any company, and by reaching out to possible employers in these many fields, I can best express all of my attributes and how they can meet your requirements. Perhaps, we can soon discuss them in person!   

Thank you and Enjoy,

Jaime

Biography

I am a 21-year-old Communication Studies major and Marketing minor at The College of New Jersey. At The College, I am a member of Lambda Pi Eta, the Communications Honor Society and the Golden Key International Honour Society.

The courses I have completed at TCNJ have given me a strong background in interpersonal communication, television and radio production and public relations. I have developed better writing, public speaking and technological skills.

I have been deeply involved in the Communications Department since my acceptance to The College of New Jersey. I was trained and licensed as a radio DJ and co-hosted three dayside shows over the course of two years at WTSR, the school's radio station. I am currently a writer and actor for the campus television station, Lions Television, and also recently finished production on a documentary made along with three other students. Through these experiences I have learned valuable lessons in teamwork, organization and leadership.

Outside of school, I enjoy running, hiking, reading, traveling along the East Coast and New York football (i.e. the Giants). I also really enjoy working with people. I have always been involved in the customer service industry. I worked as a waitress at Krogh's Restaurant and Brew Pub in Sparta, NJ for three years and as a neighborhood nanny for one.

Over the summer of 2008 I worked as Account Manager for a market analyst firm, BIScorecard. I was responsible for handling client accounts and getting in touch with different companies and employers in an attempt to gain a larger clientele base. I also assisted in designing and promoting a new marketing campaign with updated public relations materials.

After graduation, I plan working behind-the-scenes in the entertainment industry (maybe at a television or radio station) and attending graduate school and pursuing a doctorate in Communication Studies and Education. In the end, I wish to be a professor of Communication Studies at a college or university. Hopefully, this online portfolio will help make that happen!

My Resume

Here's a link to my resume so you can see where I've been, what I've done and what I'm looking for in the future:

Presentations

Here are two PowerPoint presentations that I created and presented in different classes and pitched to boardmembers of the campus television station.

This was for the proposed sitcom, "On Campus."

This was for another sitcom, "Sex Talk," which deals with today's gender issues and popular topics such as dating.

Thank You

First of all, I would like to thank you, reader, for taking the time to look through this virtual portfolio. I hope it has given you some insight into who I am and what I can do. Perhaps we can speak in the future as to what I can bring to your company.

Next, I would like to thank my professors, employers and others who have made an impact on me and helped to mold me into who I am today. 

And lastly, I thank my friends and family for their constant support, and for pushing me to do my best with everything that life brings me. You have all made this possible.

Thank you everyone, and I hope you have enjoyed my blog!
