I stumbled into public relations as an accident. I didn't even know there was such a field until I walked into an intro public relations class. The longer I was in the class the more I fell in love with the field. I had an amazing teacher named Stephen Whyte who encouraged me to join PRSSA. Halfway through the class not only had I joined PRSSA, but I had also changed my major to public relations. Needless to say I'm a fan of PR. PRSSA has given me the
chance to meet successful
professionals and work along
side them. I have learned more
about PR through PRSSA than I
have from reading text books.
PRSSA got me involved with
committees; which in turn got
me a job at a public relations and
marketing agency. The
opportunities and benefits
gained by being a part of PRSSA
are truly limitless.
