My name is Amber Appelbaum, and I'm a senior at UW - Madison who is happy to say these last four years will be looked back on as my best, possibly for the rest of my life. While I am from the East Coast, right outside New York City, I have relished getting to know the Midwest and live in a different part of the country for four years. I am a Sociology major with a "concentration" in Communication Arts (since we have no minors or certificate program). Next year, I have been offered a job doing Public Relations back home in New York City. As the oldest with just one younger brother who has begun his college career now in DC at Georgetown, myself and my family are looking forward to being closer than a plane ride away after my time here. Still in the process of finalizing all the details, it is terrifying how close the real world is.
Aside from academics, I am involved in my sorority on campus and am a pop culture aficionado and keep up to date on all celebrity gossip. In addition, I have an eye for fashion and hope to work in fashion PR later in life, as I can tell you who wore what gown, to what event, and who the designer is, and why it did or didn't work. I like to think of these as talents and continue to convince my parents that my gossip magazine obsession and excessive Twittering will make me quite successful one day (hey, anything is possible!). I look forward to gaining a new appreciation for all the Internet has to offer, both in what I will use professionally with social media and Internet networking, as well as in my personal life of following the trends throughout the media world on this new and constantly developing medium.
