Noticing Some Changes?

If you haven't seen them yet, I'm slowly making some changes to this blog.

A Changed Title? Imported Old Posts from Previous Blogs? New Photos?

Yes to all of them!

As I begin my last year of grad school, I want to be able to keep this blog active post graduation next June. The name change to "Wandering Walpole" will allow me to keep posting. Besides, I've been posting way too much lately about matters not concerning England. Flexibility is my goal!

(Note, the URL has not officially changed, yet!)

You may also notice in the archives that I have imported my two prior blogs: "Katie Lives Simply" and  "The Other Side of the Pond."  The first was a blog that I kept during undergrad at Syracuse for a period of a few years. And, the second is the blog I kept during the four months I studied abroad in London during undergrad! 

A lot of the renovations on the blog is still in progress, so get ready for some big changes in the next few months!

Local Levo: London

This past Monday, I attended the launch of Local Levo: London. For those of you who do not know, Levo League is "a community for Generation Y women looking for mentorship, jobs, career advice, and peer networking." I've been a big fan of the start-up from the beginning and watched it expand to Office Hours with women in the workplace that are making a change and leaning in. Recently, they held an Office Hours event with Sheryl Sandberg.  

The Local Levo: London launch event was an evening discussing negotiation of salaries, but also negotiation and asking for more in all aspects of the workplace. It was so inspiring to meet other young women that are facing the same battles that I am in terms of the job hunt and working towards their career goals. Plenty of connections and new friends were made. I cannot wait until the next event.
