Academic Experience and Written Samples

Throughout my time here at The College of New Jersey, and while attending Rutgers University, I have taken many classes that will help prepare me for a career in business and/or communication. To view some of these classes please click here.
Due to these classes I have numerous written assignments that I have posted for your viewing pleasure...

During this class we had many assignments that would transfer over into the world of public relations and business management. These are some of the assignments from that class.

Introduction to Media Studies
This is a introductory level communication studies course that allows the students to get to know different types of media. In this class I have learned how television and radio are so closely connected as well as the evolution of newspapers and the internet. This assignment dealt with newspapers as a media and the use of yellow journalism.

Strategies of Public Relations
I am currently in the process of taking this communication course. The course provides an overview of research-based strategies and tactics used in public relations practices to meet communication goals. It has a special emphasis on the effort to transform public relations from a crat into a complete, recognized professional practice. For this class there are two assignments:
Public Relations Plan
-Media Kit: each group must create a complete media kit based on the group's PR Plan, suitable for release either directly to the media or at a news conference.
