During her time at the Smithsonian, Bedney began by running errands and cohosting events, but her talent was spotted quickly, and she was asked to write press releases, attend conferences and seminars, and act as a PR liaison for the museum. “It was an incredible experience,” she notes fondly.
“I could not be more pleased with the opportunities I have had at CSUSB,” Bedney says. “Every communication student can do what I did—all it takes is a little effort and a willingness to be adventurous.”
