Experience

It's one thing to be taught a skill in a class it's another to gain life experience in the world. My internship, work and travel abroad have all influenced my work ethic and desire to grow as a professional.

I have experience in writing news releases, creating media lists and PR kits through my college courses.

I also have extensive training and work with social media, including Facebook, Twitter, geo-locations and blogging.
