About Rose

“So Who Are You?”

My name is Rose Flood and I’ve been a writer as long as I can remember. In December 2017, I received a bachelor’s degree in public relations at Ball State University. My past experience includes working as a member of the Race Marketing team at Harrah’s Hoosier Park Racing & Casino and as an Account Coordinator at Cardinal Communications, Ball State’s student-run strategic communications firm.

I’m not exaggerating when I say I’ve been a writer for my entire life. In elementary school, I would write stories during free time that would be passed around from classmate to classmate, so it makes sense that I landed in public relations. The things I write today may be drastically different from a series about talking pies I wrote when I was 11 (yes, that’s a thing that my classmates loved) but writing is something I still feel passionate about.

“So what do you write about?”

Truly, anything and everything. I find inspiration in odd places and am never afraid to put myself out there when looking at life experiences. I don’t have any REAL qualifications beyond my own personal experiences, I believe it’s important to start some of these mental health conversations. Again, I am NOT a mental health professional in any way.

I do occasionally talk about some heavy stuff, but I do my best to include trigger warnings on my posts. If there are any you feel I’ve missed or should add to a post, please don’t hesitate to reach out. The last thing I want to do is cause anyone any sort of stress or harm.

“What the heck does ‘Writer. Advocate. Dynamite.’ mean?”

I would hope by this point in the bio the writer part would be explained, but just for extra clarity: I am indeed a writer. As I made my shift from college student to professional woman, I learned that my voice can really mean something. I’ve turned myself into an advocate for speaking out about mental health and am not afraid to talk about my experience as a sexual assault survivor. I try to keep my voice on this blog light as well, but I’ve learned that my words have power and I have zero intention of silencing myself.

As for the dynamite part, ever heard the phrase “Dynamite comes in small packages?” Yeah, that’s me.

If you ever relate to anything I write, no matter the content, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You can email me through my contact page and you can find me on Twitter and Instagram @rosemags_.

In my best “The Princess Diaries” voice that would make Julie Andrews proud: thank you for being here today.
