Frances Ryan
Academic Researcher and Student in Edinburgh, United Kingdom
I am an American expat from the mountains of Washington State and have been living off-and-on in Central Scotland since 2001. I am also the proud Aunty of 20+ kids and strive to set a positive example for them by proving that you can succeed in anything you set your mind to, if you're willing to put in the time and effort.
Currently, I am working on my PhD at Edinburgh Napier University where I am researching online reputation management. I hold Bachelor of Arts in Public Relations from Central Washington University (USA), with a double minor in historical tourism and wine studies, and Master of Letters in Media and Culture (with Distinction) from the University of Stirling (Scotland).
