You'd think I'd be a pro by now, but I still find myself having to Google "how to change the line spacing on a Word document" or "how to do a hanging indent". I have used Google Docs in the past and I enjoy using it.

      Hi! My name is Victoria Mallet. I was born and raised in Miami, FL, and although I miss the hustle and bustle of city life, I am grateful to be in Tallahassee, FL working on my BA in Music and minor in Education at Florida State University.

I've used Microsoft Word for essays and PowerPoint for presentations throughout the years and I feel proficient in both. In high school, I took a few classes using FLVS (Florida Virtual School) but other than that, I took all of my classes in person. When I was starting out in college, I took a computer competency course and learned a whole lot about Microsoft Office programs. I never did quite get the hang of Excel, though.
