Hi...

My name is Jennifer. If I gave you my full government name then nobody would know how to pronounce it. I am from San Juan, Puerto Rico. A very small island that is part of the Caribbean archipelago and has approximately 5 million citizens currently. At the moment, I am a senior Public Relations major at UT [just transferred] and hopefully, a future Master's degree here as well.  I came here from a small religious liberal arts college about 20 mins from UT, whose values and morals didn't align with mine. Apart from my transferring journey, I am a violinist, an activist, and a compulsive spender. Small details about me: I used to do sailboating, I love iced coffee, and I am half Puerto Rican and half Cuban. 

I hope to learn different media tools for creating my own content. I believe using these types of programs shows a multiskill when entering the workforce, which in turn shows a company you're not a one-trick pony. It also opens up the possibility of working freelance or as a side hustle to a current job, which can always come in handy. Whether it be Marketing, Advertising, Influencer, Youtuber, etc., editing is a useful tool. 

As a small benefit of the class, to start developing a portfolio that could grow after the class has ended. Working in the Media Industry, having a portfolio with your work, projects, and/or campaigns will set you apart from others in the field. Staying hopeful that the class helps me develop a bit of creativity over time. 


~Bye Bye~

Before the internet, computers had been around since the mid-1950s. During those times, there was limited communication with the few computers that existed around the world. Computers could only interact with other devices if they were nearby, meaning that there had to be a physical connection between them to communicate. J.C. R. Licklider was the one to propose a network with no physical bounds that could go beyond the local devices [1]. After his proposal, the government and MIT began the first developments of packet switches that helped develop networks that contributed to what we call the Internet. Packet-switching was a way for people to break down information data into packets that could then be redistributed across many networks. These networks included: ARPANET, NPL, and UUCP, all played a significant part in the merging of networks to create a global Transmission Control Program (TCP) also known as internetworking or, in modern terms, the internet.  Many were involved in the e

My business cards were inspired by cards I'd happily give to people I meet by chance in the street. It touches on a lot of my personality, especially the Monet one.
