Starting Out
After graduating high school in 2006, I thought that I had my whole life planned out. I was going to attend a two year college then transfer to Aiken Technical College in Aiken, South Carolina where I would pursue a radiography technician position. However, after living in Milledgeville for one year, plans changed. I had met many people. I just knew that Milledgeville would be the place for me for the next 3 years.
Why Public Relations?
I have always enjoyed meeting new people and stepping out of my comfort zone to do so, therefore I knew that mass communication would probably be the right area for me to search out. Once I got into the program (now department of Mass Comm!) I started my journey just taking courses that I needed in order to graduate. In the mean time, however my boyfriend had proposed to me and I had begun the process of planning a wedding. I absolutely loved planning every aspect of the event. From the flowers to the cake, the dress to the venue, I knew from that moment on that I could enjoy doing that as a profession. I love making people happy and working hard to achieve that goal.
Where to Next?
As of right now, I am looking at doing my internship with Cheyenne Mountain Resort in Colorado Springs where I would work alongside the Human Relations Administrator to plan meetings, weddings, and other special events held at the resort.
I hope to meet many people along the way who will be able to assist me in making my dreams come true! ~Cassie
