I also did a LOT of media pitching I also did a LOT of media pitching. Calling news outlets was a challenge because many reporters were uninterested in free press.

However, I did have a great amount of success on certain pitches, which made it worth it. My most successful pitch was: a total of 14 placements, generating over 546,900 consumer media impressions.

Since then, I have been working very hard to get an entry-level position in the media field, however I am no longer interested in Public Relations. I would like to get a job in New York City.

I have had two interviews thus far, both in Washington, D.C.

With so many job applications, and interviews it has been a challenge to stay on top of my school work. Overall, my senior year has been the craziest and busiest of all my years at JMU!

I am currently and intern for The Daily Duke which is apart of JMU’s Marketing and Communications department! Its been a lot of fun writing stories and doing marketing for JMU.
