While it would be easy for me to stick around, I’ve never been one to sit still for long. A new adventure is upon me, and although I will miss a lot of things about Vibrant, it’s time for me to force myself to grow.

I’ve been offered the E-communications and Marketing Manager position at Second Harvest Heartland – a non-profit organization for hunger relief in the Midwest. I’ll be helping Second Harvest to establish a presence in the social media world, in addition to managing other aspects of e-marketing within the organization. I can’t wait to start helping get the word out about Second Harvest and the generous, charitable individuals who work and volunteer there.

My last day at Vibrant will not be without tears, but I have the highest of hopes for my future at Second Harvest.

“Do not be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better. What if they are a little course, and you may get your coat soiled or torn? What if you do fail, and get fairly rolled in the dirt once or twice. Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble.”

“Sometimes a scream is better than a thesis.”
