Why Me?

Graduation is less than three months away and I am ready to get up and go. This puts me in a great position. First, I can move just about anywhere because I have no ties to any one area. Second, public relations is useful for every single person, brand and organization.

This morning was the first time I was connected with Gini Dietrich. Just a few minutes after my connection, she posted a blog about some interesting jobs in the Chicago area. From internships to vice president positions, there's something for everyone. So, I must fit in somewhere, right?

I am obsessively organized and thrive in fast paced environments. I have always thought that developing my resume is an important quality, however, it is more important that I not only do PR, but I do PR effectively (and efficiently). This is what I have dedicated myself to throughout my college career.

Earlier today, I blogged about some of my more specific qualifications. The thing to take away from that is that I don't want to sit back and watch life happen. In addition, I don't want to have just any old job, but I want to have a career.

That being said, I am the person for you. I have held four internships, been a founding member of two organizations and held leadership positions in many campus organizations including the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA), Vole (the Penn State Ballet Club), Penn State EcoCAR, Happy Valley Communications (PR firm) and Count Centre County (2010 Census Awareness).

I have done everything from fundraiser and applying to grants to developing full PR campaigns. I am always willing to learn and am able to pick new things up fast.

Thanks to HAPPO, I have countless opportunities and more.
