There are so many pros and cons to social media. I love staying connected to my family and friends through updates on Facebook, keeping up with the latest trends and being social on Instagram and dancing to the latest tunes through Tik Tok. The possibilities on social media are endless. With every new platform that comes out I always take time to assess before creating an account. Myspace was the first social media platform I joined. I was in seventh grade and the music element and coding (before I knew what coding was) was exciting to experiment with. I'm not sure when or how I started my Facebook account, but I know that I wasn't one of the first to join. My brother created my Instagram account for me, and my LinkedIn was started out of obligation through a class assignment.
Although it’s rare for me to go a day without opening several social media accounts, today is Social Media Day. I was going to share my favorite social media platform, but then I realized I love and use each of them for a variety of reasons.
Outside of my personal use of social media, it’s also a central component of my role at TGR Foundation. Whether I’m writing copy, designing graphics, pulling photos or planning content, there’s always something social media-related to be done. In celebration of Social Media Day, I want to share some tips and tricks I’ve learned through my experience managing and engaging on social media.

Here are ways to remember their lives and legacies of service.
Read MoreAs a student in college and grad school, I always dreamed about the days I would dress up for work and walk into my workplace feeling like a model on a runway. Clear a path and cue the music....
When I started my journey as a full-time professional, I was excited to strut in the office with heels each week, and I did! I knew my feet would be elevated most days of the work week, but early on I would stand in my closet staring at all my apparel options changing my mind countless times or wishing I had more. After repeating that cycle for many months in the beginning of my career I thought back to grade school where uniforms were required and the most variety of options were purple or white top and pants, capris, skirt or skort. I would have fun dressing up our uniform with shoes and accessories. After analyzing my style and options based on the clothing I already had, I adopted a strategy to help me narrow my options and spend less time deciding what I would wear, whether I was preparing the night before or the morning before work. Since adopting it I continued until we reached remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic, and it helped tremendously. My work life uniform options work for me. Follow the steps below to create your own.
