Shape shifting into a new frontier

I’m a bit of a career shape-shifter. Some people, like my step dad, knew what they wanted to do back in high school and then stayed with it for 40 years.  That's not me.  I'm the opposite and am always on the move. Literally.

In the last five years I've lived in Toronto, Memphis, Houston, Tampa and Sacramento. Each city has been a blast and I've made amazing friends in each of them.

My career has been just as moldable, making it impossible to have a five year plan as I have no idea where I'll be living -- let alone what I'll be doing where ever I am.

However, I do know two things: I'll be working and I'll like what I'm doing.

THE NEXT ADVENTURE
Over the last decade, I've been evolving from a traditional print journalist, to a digital journalist, to a social media news strategist.  I have no idea how it happened, but it did and I love the fast-pace and constant change. Of course, I still write my sci-fi stuff and other fun writing in my spare time (can never give that up), but as news and media have moved into the interactive sphere, so have I.

My secret is never to say "no" to something that sounds interesting -- even if I'm not sure how it will work. So naturally when my General Manager at the station asked me a couple of weeks ago if I would be their social media instigator/guru on a new in-depth news show launching this January, I said "yes" without hesitation.

So do I know exactly what I'm going to be doing? Um...no...not really. 

What I do know is the show sounds amazing and it's never been done -- which makes it even more exciting.  Like the crew of Star Trek, we're about to explore the unknown.

Hope Scotty will be there to beam me and the rest of show's team up if needed.
