Jessica SchianodiCola
Writer, Editor, and Social Media Manager in Staten Island, New York
A real New Yorker, Jessica was born in Brooklyn and raised in Staten Island. She stuck close to her roots by going to school at Marist College in Poughkeepsie, New York, where she recently graduated with a bachelor's degree in Communication studies and a magna cum laude honors distinction.
During her time at Marist College, Jessica was the Director of Chapter Programming for the Marist Red Foxes Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) chapter. Her duties included facilitating meetings with her fellow executive board members and planning events, such as the Holiday Social, her chapter's annual induction ceremony, various workshops, and Skype sessions with guest speakers. Jessica also participated as a writer and editor for her chapter's online blog, "esPResso," which posts Chapter events, industry news, and tips for aspiring PR professionals.
Eager and enthusiastic to begin her post-grad life, Jessica is looking to obtain an entry-level position that will allow her to utilize the skills and knowledge she has acquired thus far.
