...I Ride East

I've kept my future plans private this year so I could focus on my job.
I've reached the point where my NEXT job is now the focus. So here goes...

* * * * *

I'm getting out of journalism.
I'm going into public service.

My goal is to relocate in BOSTON or D.C. in the next month. I'm marketing my interpersonal and other communication skills to land a public affairs position or staff assistantship at a government-relations, lobbying or non-profit organization. I'm also considering opportunities in a few campaigns. But I'll spare the details, keeping my party affiliation private until I'm off the payroll at KVIA-TV.

I've been building my networks in both cities for a couple months now. If any of you can think of someone I should speak to, I'd really appreciate it!

While I'm advertising, I'm selling my condo. If any in the Borderland could use a two-year-old 1-bed/1-bath condo, fully furnished in a great neighborhood... message me back and we'll talk.

In the meantime, I've got one month left to soak up the benefits of a job I have truly enjoyed and a city I truly love.

Have a great weekend, y'all.
