About Me
My name is Harriet Slater and I live in Sammamish, Washington. Originally I was born in Cambridge, England and then I moved to the United States when I was 5. We first moved to California and then Georgia. Finally, I ended up in Washington in 2010. My family consists of my mom and dad, my older brother, Jasper, and my little sister, Saskia. I also have a 10 year old white lab named Buster and a 6 month old boxer/ lab mix named Charlie. We recently just adopted Charlie this summer as a rescue dog from Idaho. He was going to be euthanized and I am so happy we were able to give him a home. As you will read on my about my blog page this is a huge reason why I wanted to write about dogs and the awareness of rescue animals.
This semester I am enrolled in 15 credits and I also hold a position in my sorority. I am a part of the Gamma Phi Beta sorority and I am the Public Relations Vice president. With this position I am responsible for updating all of my sorority's social media accounts including Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, our website and Tumblr. I am also responsible for making sure all members upkeep positive and appropriate PR. Through Gamma Phi Beta I have met all of my best friends. I joined as a freshman and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made, there are so many great girls that I do not know what I would do if I did not know them! Two of my best friends in the house are Alli and Christina and I would not have met them if it was not for Gamma Phi Beta. All three of us have gotten even closer this last semester because they also hold positions in the sorority. The executive council, which we were all a part of, meets at least once a week, and we always end up spending a lot of time together. The Washington State University greek system in general is amazing because everyone in all houses know a lot of people across the whole greek community and I do not think other universities have a greek system as close and unified as ours.
I also have a job at Call-A-Coug on campus which is a calling center where we call to ask for donations from alumni. It is not a bad job to have but it is quite challenging to ask for money until you get used to it. This job has helped me a lot with communication and marketing skills as you have to deal with a lot of different people. My major is communications with a focus on advertising, I am also pursuing a minor in marketing. After taking com 381 I want to be more comfortable and knowledgeable with writing for advertising and marketing on different media platforms. I want to feel more confident with what I want to do after graduation so I feel prepared for whatever job or internship I end up pursuing.
