Welcome to my blog! My name is Jenn, and I am a new student in the MALAT program at Royal Roads University. I wanted to introduce myself, as I had a bit of a late start to blogging due to some technical IT issues.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While I was very eager to get started, these recent challenges reminded me of an important lesson I learned many years ago: to breathe and practice patience, especially when working with technology. Early in my career, I edited a 45\u2011minute documentary using fairly limited tools. During that process, my computer crashed repeatedly, and the project ultimately took more than 300 hours to complete. It was a hard\u2011earned lesson in perseverance. During that project, my mom bought me a coffee mug that read, \u201cTo err is human; to really mess up, you need a computer.\u201d That memory still makes me smile.
A little more about me: I live on Vancouver Island and work as a middle school media teacher. I have a background in video editing and community relations, and I\u2019m also a stepmom and a very proud \u201csuper auntie\u201d to many amazing kids. They are a constant source of motivation and inspiration as I work my way through this master\u2019s program.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thank you for taking the time to read my blog. I look forward to exploring deeper, more academic topics related to the MALAT program and welcome any constructive feedback or ideas along the way.
