I went back to FSU for my final semester thinking I wanted something a bit smaller for my first job, then moved to Austin, TX to work for a boutique PR agency called Giant Noise and fell in love with event logistics and hospitality. Next up, I flew to San Francisco to intern with Ketchum’s brand team, supporting Frito Lay’s “Do Us A Flavor” campaign and Mattel’s annual trip to Comic Con. There, I worked with clients like Pilot Pen, Nature’s Own, and Party City, and got my first taste of how huge brands can interact with media and bloggers. After taking some basic classes and working on some SGA and on-campus initiatives, I scored a Junior Account Coordinator position at The Zimmerman Agency. I entered Florida State University thinking I wanted to major in journalism (after being the editor-in-chief for my high school newspaper,) but was surprised to find FSU doesn’t offer it as a major! I applied to the PR program thinking I would learn some AP Style writing, and if nothing else, understand the relationship between PR and journalism, but actually became pretty fascinated with the industry. When did you get into PR and what’s your background in it? I’m also addicted to podcasts and listen to This American Life, How I Built This, and Freakonomics every week. The Hustle is more business and entrepreneurial centered – it makes me feel like I could start investing soon or at least have a better understanding of how the business world works. It seems like lately everything I see on Twitter or Facebook is relevant to politics so it’s not as hard to stay in the loop in that area. I’m a huge fan of The Hustle for my morning news. When I catch myself feeling exhausted, I’ll pick up a good book and take to a bath with a LUSH bath bomb. Lately I've been exploring my new city, Los Angeles! From museums to hiking to good food, the list of things to do and explore are endless. She’s also never afraid to speak her mind, that’s for sure! I think it’s awesome that she dedicated an entire series on Netflix to educating herself (and the rest of us) on some pretty important topics. ![]() One of my favorite things about her is that she admits when she doesn’t know something.
