 KNAPPS RELATIONAL MODEL is a very interesting theory that I had never heard about until this week. This model, shown below, is a diagram that shows an interpersonal relationship between two people and how it can develop. Knapp describes it as not always an exact model, some relationships stop in a certain spot and are steady, others move back and forth, and some never go past initiating.

I am from Beavercreek, OR ( a small town outside of Portland) and am currently living in Corvallis for school! I have absolutely no idea what I want to pursue after school, but I do know that I would love to work in the health field. With that being said, I am not certain that I will end up there. My current job is the Athletics Events Assistant here at OSU and I am having way more fun with that than I ever thought I would. So, I guess we will see!  An interesting fact about myself is that I am an identical twin! I have an identical twin sister and we are absolute best friends. We do so many things together and have grown up so close. We shared a room for 15 years before we moved to Beavercreek! We are even living together here in Corvallis. Here is a picture of us!  I think I would appreciate learning about the "business ways" of online communication like profess
