Aaaaaaaaaaand I just accepted a job position! It’s actually a fellowship that I applied for back in November that I didn’t get then, but someone dropped out and so I was offered the spot! It’s only for a year, but I’m really excited for the experience that I’ll get, and the connections I’ll make in an organization that I think I’d love to continue to work for someday!

Moving Forward

In my experience, Spring semesters always seemed to fly by in comparison to Fall semesters. Maybe it’s merely weather related, or perhaps the anticipation of Summer has caused me to day-dream away my Spring, but regardless of the reason, this Spring semester followed the pattern in seeming extremely short. 

In this short amount of time I have had some of the best experiences of my life thus far. In January I was able to leave the country for the first time and learn about the amazing country of Honduras while helping build the foundation for a new school building. This semester I realized that I will be graduating a semester early, which meant that I officially became a senior undergraduate student at Point Park University! As a part of completing this degree I was able to receive credit for an internship in order to further my experience in the PR field and improve my portfolio, or at least that’s what I thought I was going to get out of it when I signed up.

What my internship really turned into was the best learning experience I’ve ever had in my career field. My technical skills, confidence with clients and general confidence in speaking about my field, the resources I have access to and understanding of, as well as my portfolio material have all at least doubled if not tripled or quadrupled.

I feel that I have proven to myself once again that I am in the right field, and am headed in the right direction for my future. I have been offered a position with UpCode studios and will begin as an official employee next week, I am so excited to continue learning and growing as an individual while also working to grow UpCode as its own entity as well.
