2010: Gird Your Loins

Ladies and Gentlemen I have a very important announcement; in 2010 I, Paige Beckley, will be gainfully employed. My new title is Studio and Event Manager at Urban Light Studios at the Greenwood Collective. This year the Greenwood Collective is shifting from a coworking office to a studio and event space managed by Urban Light Studios. My task is to help Kevin and Julie Law develop the space into the place to book photo shoots, art shows, concerts, weddings, parties, conferences, and other events. This position is a bit off the career path but it is a valuable opportunity to learn more about marketing, business, event planning, and other skills that could serve me well when/if I transition back into international health.

My last two months as a self-employed person was very productive. I squeezed in one last sweet trip down to Arizona to visit my grandparents and friends Colleen and Kate. I also had a really great Christmas break with my family and second family, the Rudmans, in central Oregon. While in Seattle, I had time to snatch up a boyfriend, Justin. We’ve already had some fun adventures in the short time we’ve been dating; I have the feeling that he will be a regularly featured person on this blog. Of course no one could ever take the place of the biggest paigedeut.blogspot.com star: Oliver Beckley.
