NotSerena.com is named thusly because a poor girl named Serene has dealt with a lifetime of name mispronunciations. This Serene character lives in the neighborhood of Capitol Hill in the city of Seattle in the state of Washington.
Serene was born in California, raised in New Mexico, went to college in Illinois, lived in Oregon and California, and even lived in Denmark for a few months To say she enjoys moving around is an understatement – it’s her way of living. The world is too small and too amazing to not get out and play a little bit.
Serene graduated from the University of Washington as a Communications major in 2010. Her post-graduate plan changes somewhat regularly, but the contenders that come up most often are: lawyer (immigration or anti-corporate net neutralizing maven variety), media critic, content developer, technical communications, and someone to travel around the world disseminating information. Ideally, an opportunity will arise which merges her love of technology, culture, politics, and communications will arise before her.
It may go without saying that Serene is highly uncomfortable writing in third person, and would much rather grab a bite to eat or drink some coffee with you to discuss life, art, politics, or pop culture.*
*(Let’s get real, she is not always so high-brow. In reality, she would enjoy a round of Trivial Pursuit and talk about the merits of Los Bros Hernandez, but you probably would not enjoy that as much as she would. If this is not the case, you must let her know immediately.)
