Good Afternoon,

I would like to apply for the (position title) at (company). I am a graduating senior at Xavier University
of Louisiana where I have studied mass communication concentrating in public relations while minoring in
sales and marketing; I am scheduled to receive a Bachelors of Arts degree in May 2018. While at Xavier
University, I have gained a multitude of experience in both communications and marketing. During the summer
of my first year in college, I was trained in both fields while interning at Rhoten Morris Consumer Group, a
Houston-based company specializing in natural hair products. With this company, I had the unique opportunity
to gain experience with branding, marketing, and persuasive communication. Because of my ability to move the
needle with the marketing and communication assignments assigned to me, I was provided a second opportunity
to intern with this company. The following summer I was provided with the opportunity to gain not-for-profit
experience with Boys and Girls Country, an organization that supports low-income and at-risk students. I
supported this organization by creating integrated marketing campaigns for the organization’s four social media
platforms. With my support, the organization was able to raise over $50,000 in sponsorships and donations.
During the fall semester of my junior year, I interned with Brown Public Relations as an account executive
intern in which I managed corporate and not-for-profit accounts providing them with media relations,
communications, and social media support. With this role, I was able to secure on average 60% of all targeted
media for each account. The summer following my junior year, I interned with AT&T at the company’s
headquarters in Dallas, TX. as a Global Public Sector Sales Operations intern. My role consists of developing
communication strategies to connect team members in various dispersed locations. With this opportunity, I was
able to utilize an established company online platform and create a community page that connected the team
members through conversations on developments within the business unit, business trends, and other topics
relevant to the department. Currently, I am interning as the Multicultural and diversity intern with AARP in
which Imanage the communication and engagement within the Greater New Orleans Community. My day to
day responsibilities entail developing ideas to interact with the African American, Hispanic, and Asian
American communities through various public forums, events, and other community engagements.

At Xavier University, I have also demonstrated my leadership and team player strengths. During my junior
year, I was selected as the director for our student-operated public relations firm-- a position that was typically
provided to seniors. With this opportunity, I lead a team of five juniors and seniors as we provided public
relations council to developing companies within New Orleans, La. With my leadership, we were able to
increase our client’s social media presence and community engagement. I am the past president of Xavier
University’s chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America. Our chapter of PRSSA has an
emphasis on educating and mentoring youth in the Greater New Orleans area. We work with charter schools in
low-income sectors of the city to expose students to writing and communication. In this position, I have gained
organizational, fundraising and event planning skills. I also exercise my leadership skills with the Gamma
Alpha chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. as the social action chairperson where I am responsible for
planning events and educating our student body about social issues that affect the African American
community.

I would welcome the opportunity to share my writing samples and further discuss my interest in working in the
capacity of an (position title) at (company). I can be reached at my contact information.

Thank you for your consideration,

Sincerely,
Morgan Yates
