My name is Erin Tabberer and I go by Erin. I am from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma which is a suburb of Tulsa and roughly the same size as Norman. I love my hometown because sometimes it can feel like a big city and other times it has that small town charm. Also we have QuikTrip there which is super important to me and I believe it's better than most restaurants in town. I'm a sophomore public relations major (duh) and I'm also getting a minor in enterprise studies. If I could have any job in the world I want to be the FEMA Director. Natural disasters are very close to my heart and I want to help people in any way possible. 
What gets me *jazzed* about public relations is that the field is always growing and shaping new possibilities. I'm also really bad at math and there's not a lot of that in PR. ​I've noticed that public relations professionals hold themselves to a higher standard and strive for excellence in everything they do which is something I try to do everyday and I want to get better at doing. What motivates me to be the best I can be is my family because they have supported me through numerous major changes and crazy life decisions. No matter what I do or decide they've always been by my side cheering me on and I don't want to disappoint them.

Writing fits into everything I do in life. From tweeting to writing papers in class I have to write all of that. I will definitely say that I'm not super confident in my writing ability and I think I can get a little crazy sometimes with fancy words and it gets really cluttered or it sounds rantesque like it does right now. I want to grow and become a much better writer than I am right now and I know that I have a long way to go. I'm determined and excited to begin this class and to succeed. I never back down from a challenge and a challenge this class will be.
