My passion for public relations sparked when I was asked to participate in a PR campaign for DeVries Global, an international PR firm headquartered in New York City. I was one of ten high school seniors selected nationwide for this campaign due to my extensive community service and also for my position on the Girl Scouts of Northern New Jersey Board of Directors. During the first months of the COVID-19 lockdown, Pandora and Sebastian Professional gave back to the selected high school seniors who lost their prom with generous gift packages fill with their merchandise. I was thrilled when DeVries Global gave me the opportunity to photograph the gifts and design a social media post for the campaign. We also had the opportunity to participate in the “We Are Well Virtual Prom” which was a fundraiser supporting the mental health of children and young adults during the pandemic. This experience helped me spread the word of the importance of staying connected with my friends, family, and peers during this global crisis. Not only did the experience boost my spirits during such a difficult time, it also ignited an interest in the field that I now aspire to become a part of.
