When I first came to GCSU, I wasn't sure what I really wanted to major in and ultimately do with my life. I finally decided that I wanted to explore the Mass Comm world, and spent some time concentrating on the writing aspect, thinking that I wanted to be a journalist. It wasn't until the Mass Comm Mixer my freshman year that I even thought to look into public relations, and once I did a little digging, I realized that I would enjoy this field much more than journalism. It is so versatile and teaches you skills that are applicable in so many different areas of your life. It involves some writing, lots of planning and organizing (which is what I'm best at) and working with different people and media.
My mom has done a lot of work with her own small business doing wedding planning, mostly for friends of our family who are getting married. I absolutely am enthralled and obsessed with everything wedding related, and the more I think about my future, the more I hope that I can use my PR skills and event planning experiences to work with my mom and do special events. Even if weddings are just a small part of the events I coordinate, I know that ultimately, I want to use PR to follow a career path that will take me in that direction. Maybe one day my mom and I will even have our own special event business...who knows? But I can't wait to find out!
