Beautiful campus, small classes and incredible school spirit &#8212; what more could you want? TCU was the perfect size to allow me to fully participate in my education and feel safe to explore.<\/p>\n<h3>Why Strategic Communication?<\/h3>\n<p>I&#8217;ve always loved telling stories and the feeling of closing a sale. I think that STCO students are all innate storytellers and they use their talents to give life and emotion to brands. Choosing Strategic Communication was one of the easiest choices I made in college.<\/p>\n<h3>What does your typical day consist of?<\/h3>\n<p>The one thing I will say about the world of production is that there is no &#8220;typical&#8221; day. It is an ever-changing dance routine, but typically my day starts with a morning production meeting where everybody who works on The Show gathers to discuss the show taping that day. After the morning meeting, I respond to client e-mails and assure that every brand that is working with The Show feels like they are completely taken care of. ELLEN tapes in the afternoons, so halfway through the day I&#8217;m usually backstage making sure our integrations are going off<br \/>\nwithout a hitch and entertaining clients.<\/p>\n<h3>Advice for STCO students to focus on to be better prepared for the work world?<\/h3>\n<p>Get organized, develop a routine and read about the industry you hope to work in!<\/p>\n<h3>How did I make it a reality?<\/h3>\n<p>I begged people for 10 minutes on the phone! Growing up in LA, I was lucky to have a network of family and friends that could help me get my foot in the door. I got my job after a phone call that was supposed to be a 15-minute informational on branded entertainment turned into an hour-long phone interview.<\/p>\n<h3>Any tips for Ellen fans trying to get tickets?<\/h3>\n<p>Just keep swimming! Tickets roll out in cycles, so check the website frequently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hometown: Los Angeles, CA Graduation year: May 2015 Company position and title: The Ellen DeGeneres Show; Integrations Coordinator, Branded Content and Partnerships STCO Concentration: Integrated Why TCU I fell in love with TCU as soon as I stepped on the campus!
