About Me

Hello everyone, I currently reside in the Tri-Cities area in Eastern Washington and am working towards a degree in horticulture. My goal is to work in a plant nursery or in a field related to native plant growth in the Pacific Northwest.

As for my hobbies, I enjoy gardening. I am currently growing vegetables like tomatoes, various types of chilies, melons, and watermelons. I also grow flowers such as lilies, sunflowers, and marigolds.

Another hobby of mine is skateboarding, which I recently picked up again after being away from it for a few years. I enjoy listening to music, though my taste is kind of scattered all over the place and depends heavily on my mood and the time of year. I also enjoy photoshopping, primarily for creating memes and other wacky photos. I'm currently in my Frutiger Aero phase, editing photos with a Frutiger Aero aesthetic.

In terms of online communication, I would like to learn how to present information better, especially since I struggle with public speaking. I'm hoping to overcome my fear of presenting through this course. I primarily use communication platforms like Discord when talking to friends and rely on other channels like email and Instagram for messaging. I avoid most social media because I don't like putting myself out there. I took a communication course years ago at WSU, but I don't remember much from it. I hope to learn new skills in Comm 211. My main goal for this term is to pass all my classes, and for this course specifically, I hope to learn how to communicate more professionally online.

I chose to assess Tapteal Native Plants, a local native plant nursery. They have a website, as well as Facebook and Instagram pages. Since the business focuses on native plants, their location and service area are important. They serve the Columbia Basin region of Washington. I think the Tapteal Native Plants website effectively communicates the company’s offerings and values. Right on the homepage, you see their logo, business name, a brief statement highlighting their focus on native plants, and a beautiful image showcasing some of these plants. At the top of Tapteal’s homepage, the navigation menu and logo are prominently displayed, making it easy for users to find key pages, like the seed shop, consulting and design services, and guides for caring for native plants. The middle section immediately communicates the company’s core focus on native plants, followed by highlights of their plant selection, services, and a brief 'About Us' section. At the bottom, you’ll find links ...
