"I was in college when I figured out that I was meant to work in public relations. I've always been outspoken and a strong communicator. In college, I joined the debate team and found great success doing that. Later, after graduation, I got a true taste of public relations during my first job, and I knew I had made the right decision. Not only did I find that my natural talents were well suited to the role, but I discovered that I also liked being a part of protecting and shaping the image of a company or organization. It's satisfying to see the direct impact I can make on an organization. This is definitely the right industry for me and where I plan to stay the duration of my career."
