My Continuing Journey in PR

It's finally here.  Three long years have led up to this.  My final year here at UW-Whitewater.  And if all goes as planned, by the end of the year I will have my bachelor's degree.  Honestly, I am incredibly excited to enter the professional world of Advertising and Public Relations.  I hope to soon have an internship in an Advertising or Public Relations agency that will help me achieve my ultimate professional goal as a copywriter.  I have taken almost all of the Advertising classes necessary for me to graduate and copywriting has always been the aspect of Advertising that most appeals to me.  I love creating something intricate with my words that will influence people.  Right now, I am being challenged with Public Relations classes.  So far, I have really enjoyed the different aspects of Public Relations.  Everything from writing press releases to social media.  One thing I really look forward to is getting the chance to network with important people in the field.  I think face-to-face contact is something I need to work on.  I do not yet know how to interact professionally.  Hopefully PR Tactics II with Ann Knabe will give me the opportunity to expand my communication and networking skills.  I am excited to see what this semester has in store for me, both professionally and academically!
