Reflections: Curating My ePortfolio

This is my third class with Professor Lietzenmayer and I have to say that the ePortfolio is one of my favorite projects. I did not have to create my ePortfolio from the ground up but I did spend a good amount of time curating it. I changed color schemes, photos, and updated my resume. New opportunities have crossed my path and I really wanted to create a more professional appearance than when I started this page almost three years ago.

To the right I have included a before and after photo of

my 'About Me' page as an example of how the theme

and style of my page has evolved. I also included more personal information than I have in past years. The most challenging part of curating my ePortfolio was thinking through what new information I wanted to include and how to present myself. My vision was for a clean yet interesting layout. The portfolio will continue to evolve throughout the course of the semester but I am happy with the way things look as of now.

I am confident in my online presence more so now than I was in the past. I have forgone linking to my personal social media. Instead, I have taken the opportunity to link to the Instagram accounts that I manage; Springible and The Virginian Golf Club. A few months ago I started as an intern for Resourceable Holdings, a media management company, and since then I have been named social media manager for the two previously mentioned companies. I am continuing to learn how to communicate with readers in a way that gains the most engagement and provides the best user experience. I hope that with time I can continue to develop my writing skills, something that I always wish to improve. As of now I do not have any questions about the project. I am excited for this course and to finish out my last semester at Old Dominion University!
