Even though it’s only my first year at Ohio State, I’ve had many opportunities to grow and develop as a leader, and I’m excited to continue these opportunities and build on them in the next couple years!
MMC FLO: As a member of Media, Marketing, and Communications Scholars, I am also a part of our freshmen leadership team (FLO). I’ve learned a lot about working as a team, planning events, and managing a budget through this experience. My favorite event from this year was our Professional Development evening when we had two faculty from the College of Arts and Sciences Career Services. They helped us with resume editing, interviewing skills, and navigating LinkedIn. I look forward to continuing to plan social and professional events for MMC sophomores next year.
The PRactice Account Executive: The PRactice is Ohio State’s student-run public relations firm that gets to work with real clients. Spring semester I’ve been serving as an Account Associate for our client Car, the Center for Automotive Research at Ohio State. They are also known as the Midwest Hydrogen Fuel Cell Collaborative and are dedicated to researching and developing sources of clean energy using hydrogen. Through this experience I have learned a lot about interpreting social media analytics, creating content calendars, and working on a team. Next year I am excited to take on a leadership role as Account Executive with the Youth and Technology Minor.
PRSSA Alumni Relations Subcommittee Chair: I joined PRSSA (The Public Relations Student Society of America) fall semester and have loved the opportunities this student organization has offered. Since I’m a freshman who is only in intro-level Communication classes, PRSSA has helped give me a good idea of what the field of Communication looks like and what potential job opportunities I might have in the future. I have personally gotten a lot out of PRSSA’s professional mentorship program and wanted to get more involved with the club and their connections to alumni. I am excited to serve as the Alumni Relations Subcommittee Chair next semester!
