Jan 2016 - June 2017
Lyles Center for Innovation& Entrepreneurship atFresno State
Communication AssistantAs a communication assistant, I created content for and oversaw all social media accounts
affiliated with the Lyles Center. I also created content for all of the newsletters that come out
of the Lyles Center and promote Lyles Center events through social media and local media
through press releases and live interviews. Aside from working to notify the media of any
events the Lyles Center put on, I often helped with copywriting and editing of any copy that
was released by the center.

Education
Jan 2016 - May 2016
Student-Run PR Firm; Fresno State
Account Manager, TALK I was an account manager in the student-run PR Firm, TALK during my Spring 2016 semester
at Fresno State. During that time, I managed our account with Fresno State Tiny House, a
project being worked on by the capstone construction management students from the Lyles
College of Engineering. As the account manager, I helped oversee the Fresno State Tiny House
Facebook, Instagram and Twitter pages. I worked with a team of four account executives to
come up with original and engaging content for each of the social media platforms. I also
worked with my team to put together a news release announcing the “first nail” of the
project—or when the project went from ideas and blueprints to actually being built.

Central California Women’sConference; Fresno, CA
InternOne major responsibility I have is being in charge of the CCWC Facebook page. I work with
other interns to create and schedule posts on a monthly basis. Another major responsibility I
have had was to send out any and all news releases to a list of media contacts, which was
broken up between myself and three other interns. We also had to contact the media with
follow-up calls to see if they were willing to run our releases. I’ve also been in charge of
collecting and organizing all of the ads that CCWC sponsors would send to us to be put into
our event program, as well as work with CCWC’s graphic designer to decide on the placement
of the ads in the program while it was being created.
