Welcome to my Blog!


Greetings! My nickname is Ello, and I am in my third semester of the ISLT Master's program at The Florida State University. This will be my second degree from FSU, and I hope to apply the skills learned through this program to encouraging cross-training among hospitality employees, especially within hotel operations.

I am so excited to see where this particular semester takes us -- I am fairly active on social media in my personal life, and I'm very interested to see how I can transfer that into the world of instruction. I have also always wanted to start a blog, but could never quite figure out what to focus on -- for the next twelve weeks, I at least know that my posts will revolve around academia, trends in social media, and how both apply to my life and the lives of those in the communities with whom I interact.

Then who knows -- perhaps I'll be inspired to continue writing on this platform! either way, I look forward to interacting with you here and through our other platforms. Please feel free to leave a comment and introduce yourself.

    Wow .. From 2066 to 2021! Your image actually reminded me of a social media challenge where people share 'how it started' vs 'how it's going' instances. Here's is a link if you want to enjoy some interesting life episodes -- https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/10/15/style/how-it-started-meme.html!

    Look forward to reading your posts!
