Hello Steemit friends. As my first post I think it would be fitting to introduce myself. My name is Karlie Hamilton and I am 28 years old. I was born in Sydney, Australia, however I spent most of my childhood in Brisbane. As a child I was very active and represented my school and state in a variety of sports, mostly swimming and athletics.
One of the many swimming carnivals. I am in the orange. :)
Interschool athletics carnival. Open 100m relay team 2006 at QEII/ANZ Stadium, Brisbane. I am on the far right.
When I finished school I studied a Bachelor of Business, however decided not to pursue this as the area that I studied, marketing, conflicted with my personal values. When I finished university I decided to work at Movie World, a theme park located on the Gold Coast. Here, I mostly operated the rides. I then started to pursue a career in nursing, which I currently still do today. In fact, in a weeks time I will be heading to the UK to work as a live in carer.
Doing ride checks at Movie World on Superman. I am in the top left.
Getting ready for my nursing prac.
I like to think of myself as a unique individual who is very open minded and non-judgemental. I enjoy going to the gym, muay thai (a martial art that is similar to kickboxing), reading and travelling. I must admit, I am also a crazy Harry Potter and Disney fan! My blogs will mostly talk about my travels and the many unique and interesting experiences I have had, both the good and the bad!
Muay Thai training, Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Harry Potter World, Orlando, USA.
Disney World, Orlando, USA.
Just for fun I have added some photos to hopefully give you guys an idea of what i am like (or how crazy I am :D) I look forward to connecting with you all.
I needed a wash.
My favourite hairstyle. I should try modelling. What do you think? :P
Lastly, this photo pretty much sums up my personality. :)
welcome my friend! glad you came!
Thanks @lopezdacruz

Welcome Karlie.
Not that I'm any type of symbol of hospitality here.
Seems like you are a free spirit so well done.
Do you mind elaborating on the clash of morals line?
It hints that you might be religious and had to choose.
Apologies if this is asking a personal question.
Hi @teknow. Thank you for your reply. I am not religious, however, I just don't like the idea of manipulating society so companies can make a profit. Especially those who are vulnerable and I find that the majority of marketing does that no matter what company you work for. I understand that marketing is a great tool to let others know what is out there but with my experience 99% of the time, there is something immoral about the way they portray the products/services etc.
Yeah true. It's good to know you stuck to your morals then.
Everything is an exchange in this world though.
We are all essentially selling a version of ourselves.
Social Media, and the existence of human on it, Is a big sell.
Which is why places like these are at least putting a value on it.
Good luck to you and your future posts.
You are right there, however how you portray yourself to the world is your choice, whereas when it comes to marketing in the end you do what the boss wants regardless of your beliefs.
