When I searched your name on Google, a variety of things came up. Some of the results were: your twitter account (http://twitter.com/thetruffs ), your volunteer form for Adventure Playground, your comments on blogs from this class, and your blog from this class (http://tressag.blogspot.com/2009/09/press-release-one-announcement.html). The other blog of yours I found was http://tressagilbert.wordpress.com/2009/11/16/reading-four-virtual-life-virtual-world/ .

I did a simple search on facebook, and was unable to easily locate it. I also was unable to find you on myspace. On facebook, there are 22 people results when I search your name. The first page is a list of Tessa Gilberts, and the rest that come up are Tessa and Tresa’s but none matching the way you spell your name. This leads me to believe you either go by a different name on facebook, or do not have one.

From your blogspot blog I was able to find out that you are a great writer, and have a talent for PR writings. You have publicly posted press releases, business letters, memos, and everyday blogs. This gave me a good overall impression of your writing style in an array of different types of postings. Also from your blog, I was able to see a picture of you, and some personal information. You are 21 years old, a PR student at Utah State University, you love to read and play ping pong. There is a list of your favorite books, movies, music, and interests.
Under your Prospectus Letter Draft, which came up separately under a google search, your private email address is listed (tressa.gilbert@gmail.com). That link is http://tressag.blogspot.com/2009/11/prospectus-letter-draft.html .

Overall, I feel that your digital footprint is very professional. There are no incriminating pictures or information out there that I could find. You have very good work published on your blog, and this type of footprint reflects your personality well.
