Key Takeaways:
I have learned how to be a thoughtful strategist who looks beneath the surface and always asks herself “why?” and “what does this actually mean?” This program teaches you far more than traditional PR tactics -- it challenges you to step outside of your comfort zone, dig deeper into the analysis process, and take a look at the strategy needed to execute certain tactics successfully.
Career Aspirations:
I am interested in corporate PR, healthcare communication, and investor relations. At the same time, I am also passionate about the role of communication in international business and enterprise.
