Social media is changing the way we communicate and the way we are perceived, both positively and negatively. Every time you post a photo, or update your status, you are contributing to your own digital footprint and personal brand.

We all have personal brands and most of us have already left a digital footprint, whether we like it or not. Proper social media use highlights your strengths that may not shine through in an interview or application and gives the world a broader view of who you are. Use it wisely.

Social media provides an avenue to build relationships with media outlets and have an ongoing relationship with reporters.

Social media is the ultimate equalizer. It gives a voice and a platform to anyone willing to engage.

I realized that social media can be powerful force for good in the world and that acts of kindness can be scaled globally.
