Hello, everyone!
My name is Nhi Hoang, pronounced Nee Hong. I grew up in Iowa and Michigan but currently reside in sunny Florida. An avid writer, I decided to pursue journalism at the University of Florida ("You'll never get a job!" my family cried.). My junior year I impulsively signed up for a social media course, and it helped me land my first social media gig at a Gainesville PR firm. I jumped from one opportunity to the next, including interning at Harper's Bazaar magazine in New York City. After discovering that the fashion industry was probably not for me, I returned to Florida to work for a luxury bridal magazine as their online editor and social media manager (Take that, family!). After two years, I took a leap of faith and received the opportunity to work for one of the world's largest manufacturers and distributors of bridal gowns. Thus, I am happily yet hectically juggling work, school and everything in between. In my "spare" time, I like to blog, travel and play copious amounts of Trivia Crack.
Social media has always fascinated me because of how psychological it is. You never really know how people are going to respond, and it's both exciting and scary. It's also, as Justin mentioned, very new and unpredictable. It's hard to determine concrete rights and wrongs when something is evolving so quickly, and thus, social media ethics fascinates me too. I'm very excited for the semester ahead, and I look forward to getting to know you all better!
