While in college Skram, like many students saw a need to obtain an internship in her field of study. She landed an internship for Mercy Health System her junior year of college. Upon graduation she was offered a full time position as the media specialist and the manager of PR. Not only does Skram wear many hats for Mercy Health, but is also a professional blogger for the Gazette and Wisconsin Healthcare Public Relations and Marketing Society . I honestly think she doesn’t sleep! It’s very inspiring to see a woman taking on so many different roles and shine in each. She is definitely one to admire and aspire to be like.
In 2008, Skram took on the challenge of blogging and has been doing it ever since. She shared that blogging is essential because it generates content, establishes expertise, helps grow ones networks and offers a place for people to engage. What I found to be very interesting was that through her study she discovered that 55% of corporations use social media to seek job applicants. Skram presented a lot of useful and essential information about social media and the power of blogging. She mentioned that blogging may not be something you enjoy to do, but it will definitely be worth the push you may have to give yourself. She also provided us with hot topics to discuss if you’re ever at loss of words, 10 best/worst, tips and tricks and how to’s.

I will agree with you, it is very inspiring to see such a successful young professional! Skram really does have a lot of experiences under her belt in such a short amount of time. I also like how much information she presented on the importance of blogging, because it is not one of my most favorite things to do, but I know that it will give me a leg up on the other people that don't know how to do it.
ReplyDeleteVery well written! It was really impressive to see how much she does. One of the fears of blogging was not having enough time. I think she sets a really good example for us in that she is very busy but still makes time for her personal blog on top of her professional blogs.
