Hello all. My name is Leah and I'm yet another of the new Actual Sizers here on Smithfield Street. Having started my second week, I'm finally getting my sea legs and really feeling like I'm making a difference in this creative world. First off I suppose I should let you all in on what I do. Basically, I do all of the little things that help to make this company move and shake like the hip-hoppin', be-boppin' designers we have here in the office (and I'm not just talking about the wide range of jams radiating from Eric's cubicle next to mine). Everyone here at the office has individual talents and equally as individual work styles, which is why my job exists; to make sure everyone gets done what they need to get done.

In my first week here I familiarized myself with the systems already in place and helped to put into action new forms of organization. I am learning daily, different ways to make task management more efficient within the office and especially how to make things work for each member of the team. Aside from organizing the tasks and helping everyone to maximize productivity, I am trying to fit into this quirky and fun environment.

Surprise, surprise, I'm yet another Penn State grad giving me a leg up I hope in the eyes of my new co-workers! I graduated a year ago but couldn't bare to leave Happy Valley until this December...which I guess some would say I left just in time. But now that I'm back in Pittsburgh I couldn't ask for a better place to put my communications degree into action. I love the fact that I can help out in an office setting and learn SO MUCH about a field that I've worked these past four years to be a part of. I get to read, write, organize (the neat freak that I am), learn, and have fun. What more could a girl ask for? 

All I need to do now is ease the team into the full spectrum that is Leah Braun. Although I might not join in when tiny green discs go zooming over my head from the Nerf shooting extravaganza between Joe and Eric, I do have a few fun things up my sleeve I hope to introduce to the rest of the Actual Sizers as my time here continues. I'm especially excited for my time-to-shine on Friday breakfast duty, a tradition I am SUPER excited to be a part of. Shout out to Bob and Joe for the spectacular french toast and wide array of delicious toppings, couldn't have been more excited to be at work on a Friday! I can only imagine what will be in store for me this week.

Well, I guess that's all for now. I'll be writing again soon, hopefully with more updates on the crazy happenings or exciting new projects. For now, thanks for reading and stay tuned for more!
