When I graduated from High School all I knew was I wanted to be a writer. At the time I knew that print journalism didn't have a good outlook with the dawn of the internet, so I looked to being able to write for marketing purposes. This led to my major in Public Relations and Communications. I minored in business management so I could gain that understanding as well.
