As former president of the Wayne State University chapter of the Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA), I acted as the lead project manager and liaison for all chapter initiatives and led six executive board members and over 70 general members.

Before that role, I was the chapter’s VP of Professional Programming. In that role, I planned and facilitated all agency and business tours, panels and events for general PRSSA members.

I was in PRSSA all four years of college, and it turned into more than just a student org but a network of reliable young professionals and great friends advancing careers together. 

WSU PRSSA Rebrand

The fall 2020 semester brought a lot of uncertainty for students. I took this as an opportunity to engage our membership online by rebranding PRSSA’s online presence.

PRSSA Website and Brand Guidelines

Successful Professional Development Events Include:

• Hustle Culture Panel (2019)
• Building Online Portfolios (2019)
• Personal Branding on Social Media (2019)

Our PRSSA Chapter was one of the few chapters in the nation to be selected to host a District Conference in the 2019-2020 school year. We planned to bring students and professionals together on Saturday, April 25, 2020, to learn about Detroit’s robust public relations industry and network.

After COVID-19 caused Wayne State University to close campus for large events, I wrote, edited and executed a communication plan to alert sponsors, attendees, and chapter members that our 2020 District Conference and programs for March and April were canceled.
