I have been wanting to have a photography website for quite sometime. Throughout my undergrad my main focus was on photography along with digital media. Still to this day I have boxes and boxes of negatives and hand developed photos, from my 4 years in Visual Arts at the University of Victoria.

Photography has always been a passion of mine, and over the years I have collected some great shots. Towards the end of my undergrad I became quite obsessed with full moon photography. Keeping the shutter of a camera open for over 10 minutes and drawing in art with light, some of my favorite memories from Victoria.

I am going to make it a goal of mine to keep my new photography website updated… with fabulous shots from my life adventures!

Many people have been asking me about my current projects, so I wanted to share some updates. After an incredibly successful year, I am embarking on a new adventure in my career. What type of success? All sorts! My LLC Digi Talk Labs did very well for itself in the last year, I grew ScubaDiverLife.com substantially through social media and am now getting incredible traffic and attention to the community and social networks. I also have finally met with my fitness and health goals, after almost two years with a personal trainer. I’m eating healthier and living a much healthier lifestyle. When you’re as busy as I am, working on projects and am constantly being asked to help out on more, it’s important to take care of yourself.

Google Mountain View Office

I’ve transitioned out of my job at Microsoft and today was my first day of my new social media position at Google. I have now moved from Seattle to the Silicon Valley. This is a very exciting time for me. Google is such a vibrant place full of positive and motivated energy. Google has a University campus vibe … a community of people gathered together to learn and create. I am looking forward to:

• Googler-taught classes on a variety of topics, as well as a library of short

instructional videos

• Free shuttles to and from work with wireless available for lap top use

• On-site classes available through Google University. Topics include workplace essentials, leadership, people management, personal growth

• The Authors@Google program brings authors on-site for informal talks about their recently published books

Today was a great day and I am feeling excited and thankful as I begin my new adventure here at Google!

All the while, I am still continuing to enjoy life, taking photos, scuba diving, traveling, kite boarding and much more.

More updates soon.

Best,

Nadia

Meeting people online has become a bit normal for me these days. I met Christine Beggs through my website ScubaDiverLife.com
It’s deffinitly hard getting people who are educated in scuba diving to write for you. Christine was excited and eager to get started with writing articles for ScubaDiverLife.com.

A few weeks later she let me know about ProjectBlueHope.com - a website dedicated to the conservation of the oceans and earth. I was quick to jump at the opportunity to re-design her simple
wordpress site. Below you can see the re-design … keep checking back as I am still tweaking the site and the logo. It always feels good to help another out , especially when they love the end result!

Scuba Diver Life has a blog as the main site along with a Ning community and a very active Facebook & Twitter.
This is a side project showcasing many skills that I have acquired over the past. I formed a circle of pages and drive traffic through the
circle. Grabbing Traffic from social streams to help grow this Niche community.
