About

I am currently a senior majoring in Advertising with specialization in Public Relations at Michigan State University. I am extremely outgoing and like to network with people. I am studying to become a qualified PR professional, especially an expert on event planning and crisis management. I have been prepared for this since Freshman year. I have found an official hip-hop dance crew on campus, connecting events with other student organizations. That helped me gain the ability of leadership and communication skills. I also join a campus fashion magazine started looking for internship related to media, advertising and/ or communication before the summer of freshman year. Every summer or winter, I found myself internships to enrich my experience and gain professional skills that sometimes school does not teach. Starting from junior year, I have been a teaching assistant for a general required class in college due to my previous outstanding performance in this class . Even though the class is not related to my major, however, being a TA strengthen my skills of multitasking and administrative ability. I look forward to pursuing a higher education as well as more professional experience after graduating from college.
