I am in the process of completing my final year at Virginia Tech, where I will earn a

Bachelors Degree in Public Relations. I am pursuing various internship positions at the moment
where I can contribute my strong writing, problem-solving, and technological skills. These
opportunities will allow me to make a valuable contribution to a companys mission while
continuing to expand my knowledge and further grow.
My academic background has provided me with a strong understanding of ethical public
relations and marketing principles. Through my education, I continue to develop and train my
analytical, organizational and interpersonal skills to powerfully convey ideas in various
situations. My knowledge in public relations campaigns has expanded after intently studying
various client case studies in my public relations curriculum. Courses I have taken have allowed
me to exercise effective public relations writing skills so I can better prepare for the work field.
One will find on my resume that I possess well-developed technological skills to complement my
effective communication skills. This wide range of skills can affect a multitude of in-office
activities or operations with various companies.
I have worked for companies as an intern where I was able to translate what I have
learned in the classroom and apply those principles toward my career path. The two internship
experiences were some of the most challenging experiences I have had. I worked on test
marketing strategies, brand-awareness campaigns and product inventory from as early as 7 a.m.
to as late as 9 p.m., five days a week. I traveled to the office in the morning, drove to various
sites to promote campaigns and also went to work conventions to learn more about the field.
Each experience tested my ability to work on a team of account managers, my motivation and
my patience.
Currently, I am the student assistant coach for the Virginia Tech HighTechs Dance Team,
and also am a dance instructor and office administrator for Dance.tech Performing Arts Studio. I
have danced for 19 years and am well-versed in ballet, jazz, hip hop and precision dancing. With
my competitive drive, I have pushed myself to be the best athlete and person I can be. Dance has
taught me discipline, responsibility and commitment. Being a captain on my high school team
and collegiate team has given me the ability to act as a liaison between my coaches and
teammates to make each year successful. As both a student coach for HighTechs and and office
administrator for Dance.tech, I am responsible for not only supervising and leading curriculum
and practices, but I also develop marketing and promotional events to attract prospects. I am in
charge of coordinating publicity through social media and live public outreach events a skill I
have developed through my public relations courses at Virginia Tech.
My academic skills are balanced by my willingness to learn and my ability to quickly
understand and apply new information. I am able to manage tasks simultaneously and my
persistence gets the job done. I bring a pleasant, energetic, and enthusiastic personality as well as
a hard working ethic to the table. Above all, I am passionate in everything I do. Passion goes a
long way. If you are passionate about something, there is no doubt you will be successful.
