What is your dream job?<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span>My dream job is to be an author<\/span>,\u00a0<\/span>writ<\/span>ing<\/span>\u00a0books that inspire women<\/span>\u00a0and make them feel less alone<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0I would love to take what I\u2019ve learned from<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>s<\/span>trategic\u00a0<\/span>c<\/span>ommunication<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and eventually be known as a personality as well.\u00a0<\/span>There are<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>many<\/span>\u00a0authors that have<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>impacted my life, but they don\u2019t feel\u00a0<\/span>very<\/span>\u00a0accessible<\/span>, s<\/span>o I would love\u00a0<\/span>to connect<\/span>\u00a0with<\/span>\u00a0women\u00a0<\/span>online\u00a0<\/span>who read my writing.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Which<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/b>strategic communication\u00a0<\/span><\/b>class<\/span><\/b>\u00a0has been your favorite?<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span>I loved<\/span>\u00a0my<\/span>\u00a0Strategic Writing<\/span>\u00a0class<\/span>. I\u2019ve always loved writing<\/span>,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>and<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>I<\/span>\u00a0thought it was so cool to hear about\u00a0<\/span>my professor\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0career\u00a0<\/span>in<\/span>\u00a0class. I love it when professors in\u00a0<\/span>the\u00a0<\/span>Strategic Communication<\/span>\u00a0department<\/span>\u00a0share<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>who they are and how they got to where they are today.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What have you learned in\u00a0<\/span><\/b>s<\/span><\/b>trategic\u00a0<\/span><\/b>c<\/span><\/b>ommunication that will<\/span><\/b>\u00a0most<\/span><\/b>\u00a0benefi<\/span><\/b>t<\/span><\/b>\u00a0your future career<\/span><\/b>?<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span>I think reputation management is a really important lesson that we have learned in multiple classes. It\u2019s such a skill to understand how a person or how the public sees a brand or situation.\u00a0<\/span>It\u2019s important<\/span>\u00a0to think about how others will perceive your actions before you do them.\u00a0 No matter what job I\u00a0<\/span>have<\/span>, I want to be seen as somebody who holds strong to her values.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How has\u00a0<\/span><\/b>majoring in\u00a0<\/span><\/b>s<\/span><\/b>trategic\u00a0<\/span><\/b>c<\/span><\/b>ommunication played into your overall experience at T<\/span><\/b>exas\u00a0<\/span><\/b>C<\/span><\/b>hristian\u00a0<\/span><\/b>U<\/span><\/b>niversity<\/span><\/b>?<\/span><\/b>
\n<\/span>M<\/span>y major was not the most important part of my TCU experience<\/span>\u00a0until\u00a0<\/span>I joined Roxo,\u00a0<\/span>a<\/span>\u00a0student advertising and PR agency on campus,\u00a0<\/span>the fall\u00a0<\/span>of<\/span>\u00a0my<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>j<\/span>unior year<\/span>. I met\u00a0<\/span>friends who shared similar passions, and I\u2019ve seen how being in Roxo has\u00a0<\/span>prepared them<\/span>\u00a0well<\/span>\u00a0for their current jobs<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span>I\u2019m so grateful for institutions like TCU that provide real<\/span>–<\/span>life experience<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0like Roxo<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
