My Domain

I received notice that the registration for my domain fahmeenaodetta.com needs to be renewed. Currently, the domain/website only shows the posts to my blog Inside Fahmeena Odetta’s Head – it is one of the blog pages I set up for the blog (the others are a Blogger/Blogspot blog, a Tumblr blog, a Facebook page, and a Twitter page). I planned to add a resume, samples of my work (my portfolio), and so on.

Did you know that I learned a lot about website development at UMBC? In one of the first courses I learned to create a basic website using X(HTML), develop a web application that connects to a database, write short programs/scripts in Perl, and so on. I left the program with a lot of new knowledge and skills. I even learned about usability and the user experience (human-computer interaction). See my commencement document here: https://fahmeenaodetta.blogspot.com/2022/07/commencement-documents.html.

I decided to apply for the program at UMBC when I was employed at Grant Thornton. I recall that I applied for tuition assistance at Grant Thornton. I did not receive any.

I used the services of UMBC’s Career Center when job hunting near the end of the program. I recall that I had an interview with representatives from a bank on campus. I flew to Ohio for a second interview with the bank.  I was not selected for the position. I was selected for an externship at a government agency. I recall that the agency took my fingerprints.

FEATURED

I am working to be published.

I completed 11 signature assignments – significant papers with original ideas. In one paper, I foresaw specific problems at a major company. In another, I designed a study (with statistical analyses) to explain why videos do not significantly enhance or improve online reviews. I worked alone. My signature assignments available at: https://fahmeenaodettasignaturepapers.tumblr.com.

About THIS BLOG

I created this blog to capture my thoughts and ideas and to practice writing. Why practice writing? I was on a break from my PhD and not writing much. I needed to continue writing regularly – I wrote and submitted weekly assignments/papers.
I also track my mental health using this blog.

I am currently working on publishing my papers in academic journals. Click the ‘paperforpublishing’ tag in the tags section below for my last status update. My main area of specialization is usability/user experience. Click on the ‘usability’ tag to view my posts, including ideas, on usability. If you are here for information on my success research, click on the ‘success’ tag. If you are here for information on my hometown, click on the ‘lindenguyana’ tag.
