I am a cheerful and enthusiastic recent graduate ready to take the public relations and marketing world by storm. I am a California transplant, now calling Ohio’s capital my home. I’m currently looking for my first full-time position in the PR, marketing & social media industry. Let me share with you why I’m very employable.

I am a recent graduate of California State University, Fresno where I was named the 2013 Outstanding Public Relations Graduate, an honor bestowed upon only one graduating senior each year. I graduated with a B.A. in Mass Communication & Journalism with a public relations emphasis and a business minor.

During my time in college I was very involved, serving as the Executive Director for my university's student-run PR firm, as well as an officer and award-winning member of the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA). Both of these positions taught me so much
about the PR industry, leadership, teamwork and the professional I hope to become.

I held 5 internship positions in college, my favorites being for the Central California Women’s Conference and Fresno State’s office of University Communications. In addition to these internships, I held part-time jobs throughout my college experience in order to avoid “starving student syndrome.” I was very fortunate that my part-time positions were also in my field of study. I served as a Student Assistant
for the Continuing and Global Education’s Marketing Department and as the first-ever Digital Communications Coordinator for the Center of Creativity and the Arts.

Some of my accomplishments include being the first student from my PRSSA chapter to receive a PRSSA National award (the National President’s Citation in 2012 and the National Gold Key
in 2013), launching new blogs and social media channels for organizations, bringing in the most revenue in the history of my university's student-run PR firm, guest blogging, increasing an organization’s online presence following by over 1,000 percent, and implementing a social media campaign that led to a sold-out event.
