I’m currently a fundraiser for San José State. Among other tasks, my job entails writing that includes always marketing and promoting the university as well as building Spartan pride. Previously I’ve worked as a development director for a grammar school. That’s where I’ve had most of my experience in public relations and marketing. I’ve also volunteered in several non-profits and always seem to end up in one way or another in the PR and marketing of these organizations.
I love to read. That’s how I relax. I also enjoy walking and hiking. I bribe my husband each weekend to walk for four to five miles with coffee and something sweet half way through the walk, fully realizing that this defeats one of the healthful purposes of the exercise.
I’ve enjoyed every communication class I’ve taken, as well as the psychology classes I’ve completed. I enjoy the openness and willingness to share experiences by students and teachers that seems to come with being in communications.
I am eager to take this class because both my career and my volunteer work involve working with diverse individuals and groups, so it will be helpful to learn how to improve my skills in communication, mediation and conflict resolution. Of course, these skills are useful at home, too!
I look forward to getting to know you. “See” you online!
