Daland, M.A.
Writer, marketing manager, and Social Media Manager in San Diego, California
The ability to efficiently and coherently communicate is vital in achieving professional and personal endeavors. This is why I pursued a master’s degree in communication, after gaining five years in marketing communication roles.
During my graduate program, I enlivened my passion for writing and shared it with others by teaching at San Diego State University. After my SDSU tenure, I taught the web writing course: Writing for Interactive Media, which I was chosen to pilot at the Art Institute of California, San Diego. Other courses taught include: Introduction to Public Speaking and Intercultural Communication at San Diego Miramar College and San Diego Mesa College.
After earning my master's degree, I returned to the corporate sector a stronger and more confident writer. I infused my technical knowledge within digital marketing (SEO, SEM, PPC, mobile UX) and my creative skills into my writing and wrote online and print copy for Petco, Intuit (TurboTax), LPL Financial and Arctic Zero.
On the professional front: I'm pursuing a career in which I can fodder my strong written and verbal communication skills in conjunction with my background in innovation and research.
On the personal front: I'm an advocate of living a healthy and active lifestyle. I'm an avid yogi and teach a few formats of Ashtanga Yoga (Vinyasa, Hot Yoga and Sculpt) for Corepower Yoga.
When it comes to choosing one's career path, I believe in pursuing a field that you enjoy, as well as one that compels you to strive for excellence… That’s exactly what I plan to do!
