1) I am a verbal/auditory learner. I like to listen to podcasts and audiobooks, and have found that I can absorb information very quickly through listening.
2) I enjoy writing my thoughts down to expand and explore them.
3) Note-taking is absolutely crucial for me in retaining and learning information.
4) Brevity is sometimes a struggle for me when learning. I need time and space to work through my ideas before they can become concise and clear to others.
5) My most prominent personal bias when absorbing information is that of deference towards the status-quo. I tend to see the value in how things currently are, and change can sometimes be daunting or feel hostile. I try to work around and recognize this bias when learning.

1) The broadness of the field has been fascinating to learn about; there is never a shortage of things to learn about.
2) Every class & topic focuses on interrelated yet totally disparate aspects of communication and its implications in the broader world
3) The effects of communicating well are felt at a personal and societal level. I'd love to improve my own skillset.

Duvall, WA:
A scenic small town of about 8,000 about an hour East of Seattle at the base of the Cascade Mountains. Feels like the country, with small shops and bars and outdoor activities easily accessible, while the craziness and fun of the city is easily within reach.
