Hi everyone! I am Temia Pennix, and sports have always been a big part of my life. It started when I was little, going to all of my sister’s sporting events and practices. Eventually, I started playing sports, and it was all I knew for the majority of my life. I played basketball, volleyball (beach included), and track and field. I love the competitiveness of sports; it’s a good way to stay active and have fun, and that is what made me fall in love with basketball and volleyball.

I am interested in a career in marketing as a communication specialist and social media management. I love the idea of helping someone or a company reach the audience they are looking for, growing their presence online, and sharing themselves with the world. I would love to combine my love for women’s sports and my interest in communication to be able to increase the attention that women’s sports and athletes get.

Creating this blog didn’t come easy, I had originally planned to use WordPress a resource through ODU for students to create an e-portfolio. Unfortunately, WordPress would not allow me to edit any of my pages, I even tried creating a new site and it still wouldn’t work for me. I troubleshot the problem and reached out to support, but they were not sure how to help me either. It took me a while to get Word Press to work for me. I initially created a Wix Website, just in case I couldn’t get the WordPress page to work, but here I am and it is now working. I hope you enjoy all of my future blogs and I look forward to chatting about sports here on my sportsjournal
