I have always had an act for anything fun and crafty. My grandfather was an artist so I guess you can say it runs in the blood. Any type of designing, creating, or styling was something that has been a hobby of mine ever since I was young. My other hobby was keeping everything in order and being in control by choosing my own path for everything I did. I wasn’t sure when I was younger what these specific attributes would do to benefit my career, but once I entered Student Council in high school, it all became more clear. I was in charge everything public relations related for my school, which meant planning events and fundraisers, getting the word out about games, activities, and other important news, and making sure that everything student council did remained positive and held in good light. I enjoyed my participation in the public relations department of student council so much, that I decided to go a little deeper and choose it as my major. I wasn’t sure at the time what PR officially was, but as I continued taking classes and learning more about the field, I never doubted that it was the right choice for me. Today, I am close to graduating with a Bachelor’s Degree in Public Relations with a Minor in Enterprise Studies from the University of Oklahoma. With that, I plan to become an event planner for weddings, parties, and other activities. I know my characteristics that I have had since I was young will allow me to accomplish great things in the future. For now, I am taking interest in small events, helping with local event planners in Norman, Oklahoma. I know the more experience I receive now, the better off I will be after I graduate. Out of my experiences so far, my ideal choice of an event is a wedding. The elegant designs, beautiful scenes and joyful people help create such a positive atmosphere for everyone involved. My assistance with weddings has mostly involved set up and clean up, designing some of the decorations, and escorting people to the appropriate seat. Although weddings are preferred, any event I participate in is satisfying because I know that I can help turn an average night into something memorable for anyone who is present. I know my consistent motivation, strong work ethic, and steady support system will push me to succeed in the path I have once again made for myself.
