SUBJECT: Your online reputation
The name "Lacey Saxton Nagao" is not a very common name. When one first types it into google, most of the first search results are accurate draws of the person I was searching. Many of them are blog related: Lacey is a member of Professor Ted Pease's news writing class' blog, http://newshounds1.blogspot.com, as well as having her own blog, http://laceynagao.blogspot.com. For one of her stories in that class, she decided to write a story about gays and lesbians living in the conservative environment of Cache Valley, and some of their thoughts on Prop 8. Another was about "brain food," food that might help students be able to focus better, or do better on tests.
According to her public blogger profile, she currently lives in Logan, UT. She lists a few of her interests as public relations, piano, fashion, fitness, research, the sorority Kappa Delta, history, and literature.
If I search her on facebook, her public search listing tells me that she is a fan of the Twilight series, Outblush, the band Brand New, and the makeup company Covergirl.
Upon accepting my friend request, I find out that she is a senior in the public relations program at Utah State University. She married Josh Nagao on August 18, 2009. Lacey and Josh will both graduate from USU in 2010, after which they will move to wherever Josh decides to go for dental school. She works for USU Athletic Media Relations, and her email is lacey.saxton@aggiemail.usu.edu.
She lists her religious views as being Christian: LDS. Her birthday is August 9, 1989, and her hometown is listed as Preston, Idaho.
Lacey has done a good job of presenting herself professionally to the public. Potential employers may skim her blog to hear her thoughts, but as long as she stands by everything she writes, it will give them a representation of who she is.
