PROFILE

My PR story began in 2007 when I became a member of the UW Oshkosh PRSSA chapter. I fell in love with all of the

research, campaigns, events, social media and speakers.

Since 2011, my passion for social media has grown significantly. I volunteered my time as a Social Media Strategist for
the Magazine Publishers Family Literacy Project from March 2013-June 2014. In this time, I assisted in growing its Twitter

followers by 40%, even being followed by Seventeen Magazine Editor-in-Chief, Ann Shoket.
I also previously worked as the library assistant at Waunakee High School improving the library's social media presence. I
created strategy plans, planned events and campaigns that promote literacy throughout the high school. Our efforts increased
circulation by 22 percent in my first year.
I strive to come up with new and creative strategy, planning events, continually coming up with new ideas to create

interaction with each target audience, and keeping up with developing technologies.
