Hello There,

Thanks for visiting my blog.  My name is Jenna Hammond.  I am a senior at Penn State.  My major is Marketing and my minor is Economics.  I'm involved with Valley, Penn State's Life and Style Magazine.  I have been involved with THON since freshman year.  I've had the opportunity to experience three different committee positions: hospitality, operations, and merchandise.  I am already looking forward to THON 2012!  When I'm not busy studying or attending various meetings on campus, I enjoy baking, shopping, watching TV, and reading my Kindle.  Over the summer, I enjoy water-skiing with my family.  I am from a very small town outside of Pittsburgh, so there are plenty of rivers around for boating.

I chose to major in Marketing because I am a very creative person and this major allows me to utilize my creativity while providing a strong background in business as well.  I am taking this class in hopes of gaining a better understanding of how web design works.  I hope that this understanding will make me a more well-rounded applicant for marketing positions.  Through my own experience online, I know the impact of web design on a consumer's willingness to linger on a particular site.  Knowing how "to build and implement marketing pages" will be an advantageous skill as I move forward in my field.  I look forward to the opportunity to dive deeper into the world of blogging, as it is a rapidly growing marketing and promotional tool. The knowledge gained in this course will help me to be a better employee in the future.
